I would like to see a list of the places people have flown. Maybe for those of you with a lot of experience you could give out your top 10 or so.
Maybe give a little info on your favorite 1 or 2 sites and why, and maybe a little info on your least favorite and why (if you have one)
I am fairly inexperienced so my list is short:
1. Steptoe Butte, WA (small mountain in the middle of rolling hills)
2. Tekoa, WA (small mountain site) also the site of my tandem ride
3. Squaw Butte, ID (mountain site)
4. Pickles Butte, ID (“cliff” launch—I would consider it a semi-cliff launch)
5. Ed Levin, CA
6. Waddell Bluff, CA
7. Marina State Beach, CA
8. Fort Funston, CA
9. Knightston (aerotowing), CA
I am quite fond of them all but I think Tekoa was my favorite, I think it is mainly because it is the first time I got over launch. I ridge soared it, and actually thermaled for my first time there. Basically my first non-sled ride.
Lets hear where you have been!''
