Hello all,

I have interest in exploring and taking part in a soaring safari in the summer of 2016. Being somewhat new to soaring, (approximately 120 hours of glider time verses 3000 in power), I would like to expand my horizons. I would like to explore the potential of venturing out to the front range of the Colorado Rockies this summer for a week of Soaring.
This will be a good introduction to a follow up trip, further out west the following summer 2017 (Utah, Wyoming and Nevada or where the lift take me) while I embrace retirement. I am based in the mid-west and fly a HP-18 in typically weak flatland conditions. Over the last couple of years, I was able to gain further experience with two trips to Minden, one to Moriority and a brief trip to PA. My goal is to find and hook up with soaring pilots who have like interests and the time to pursue extended trips.

Thanks,

Being new to the group, is this a good place to meet new people with the same interest in extended soaring vacations or soaring safari's. I intend to venture out west for my first week of soaring using my own sailplane and am looking for people that have the same interest. My goal is to meet other sailplane pilots who may have the time to spend in the Rockies or further out west.

Thanks,
Chris
