Labor Day in the Owens
If nobody is going to Dinosaur, is anyone up for an Owens Valley trip over Labor Day weekend? I'd like to go, weather permitting.
Re: Labor Day in the Owens
I'm in... I don't think I can swing a big road trip to Dinosaur this year after all, so Owens sounds great.gregangsten wrote:If nobody is going to Dinosaur, is anyone up for an Owens Valley trip over Labor Day weekend? I'd like to go, weather permitting.

If coming, decide if you want to camp or stay in Lone Pine. If you want a room, check out the Dow hotel or wherever because they will fill up, if they aren't already.
I'll probably be in Tuttle Creek.

Kia flys the Owens most every weekend. He says that you can launch as early as 8:30 AM or 9 and still get a great flight! Probably a good idea to launch early for H-3s.

Owens valley trip meeting
Let's meet this Saturday afternoon after flying and discuss things. Try to make it if you are interested in going next weekend.

Life in the Owens Valley
Rat on Fred, you may be the one(s) to keep this trip alive. I would drive up early Friday and could show the nearby LZs to anyone who hasn't been there yet.

I'm still planning to go up. Probably drive up Saturday morning and fly Sunday and Monday, assuming I can work it out up there. If not, I'll read, float and hike.

I'd love to but it is my anniversary. Isn't the Crestline event the week after

smoked out
Just got a report from Arthur in Independence. The valley is smoked out, evidently from fires east of Fresno. He's heading for Mingus.\
Oh well...
