Crestline Stair Repairs

Enjoy the Graduation/Father's Day weekend and plan on a work party next Saturday, June 21.

The stairs at the Crestline launch need to be rebuilt after 25 years of use, abuse and finally some vandals in a vehicle.

Meet at the LZ at 9:00 and Rob has offered a ride/work/fly package. Bring your gloves (the stairs are railroad ties). Shovels and crowbars might be handy.

Thanks,

- Alan

2008 Airpark Anniversary T-Shirt Final

2008 Airpark Anniversary T-Shirt Final

Here's a reduced version of the final artwork for the commemorative t-shirt


Saturday, 14 June

Hot and not a lot of wind. Only gliders flying at 14:15 were two PGs at Marshall; no one but me standing on the peak. Got up at 15:00 from Marshall easily and went back to Crestline (a crowd was setting up there), where it was barely ridge soarable. Pine was barely happening. A pass over Marshall triggered the big sink to below the 750. Found a squirrelly little core and rode it for 12 minutes, gaining 2500 feet. The sink must have been all over, as several PGs and HGs streamed in below me as I started the climb and a few of them got hold of it. Landed Marshall at 16:07.
