Another great day at Crestline! If you look closely you can see a pg high above Pine.

Thanks to Joe for posting he was headed out this afternoon. Got 1.5 hours and 2200 over launch.

Thursday seemed like a weekend day of flying with all the pilots out. Afterwards John W. cooked up his famous brats and burgers to everyone's delight. Thanks John!

This is the Google Earth view of Marshall Peak as of 5 June, 2009. It shows seven hang gliders and two paragliders on Marshall Peak. I don't know when the image changed from just the bare peak, but I think that's what was shown as recently as a couple of months ago.
