Marriam Crater (my first soaring flight)
The Gin (just because it is close to home)
Horse canyon
Shaw Butte
Torrey Pines(back in the day when it was not crowded)
Little Black mtn (location of my only crash in 43 years of flying)
Big black mtn
Lots of hills and mountains that have no names and places no one else has ever flown. The first two or three decades of flying were so very smokey that places and names are blurred.

primarily places most of you have never heard of, all in USA, most in CA and WI and IL, most now closed and if not, no one uses them much if at all these days. Weird. Rarely resided near the well-known sites.
