We ran out of gas after flying.

Before that everything was good.

Awesome Trip! This is a brief re-cap.
(Don't cry about large pictures, learn to press Ctrl - - , that is hold control then press minus minus until the pictures match your screen res.

Friday. Marina Beach. Locals George and Randall where there for a site walk through. Sonny and Max could really soar. I had less luck.

Saturday. Fort Funston. Locals meet us for a sit walk through and stickers. I made back and forth to Mussel rock 3 times.

Sunday. Mount Tam. Local Dave from the MCHGA met us. Joey had a 20 minutes. The rest of us had a bumpy 10 minutue sled.

Monday. Three hours @ Kagel. Lots of 600+ foot climbs to 5K and lots of 600 sink in between.

Hey Orion,

In the picture with the wooden ramp it looks like there is a wooden post directly in front. Is this the case or just the angle the picture was shot at?

That poll was a quasi-concern. Half the ramp was missing due to erosion. With a strong launch it was easily avoided though.

Honey Badger doesn't give a s--- about that pole.
