I have a time budget of 2-3 years but modest financial
resources. So
gents...where and what time of year? If I could
construct a tour that
starts in up state NY went South down the Appalachians
then W to the
Sierras then N up the Rockies and back to the East coast
that would seem
sensible. I guess I could ship to anywhere on the East
Coast and go from
there.

Advice on itinerary, welcoming clubs (with aero tow),
great soaring, good

things to see, places to stay etc. by email would be
great.

Thanks in advance
Jim

BTW I am very happy to help run HDT task days / weeks
/ competitions
along
the way if you would like.

You should probably start in Franconia, NH, from there fly
to Sugerbush, VT
then down to Springfield VT and then turn west to upstate
NY.

Ship your glider via RORO to a port near Providance, RI
(about Euro 2k +
insurance). That is where we ship our gliders from factories
in EU for East
Coast destinations. I shipped two gliders from Europe
without any issues
and the third one is on the way.

I am sure you will find many helping hands as people here
are very nice,
contrary to what you might expect by reading RAS .
Enjoy great soaring
and great country.

Andrzej

Just recounted this thread to my wife: her response: "Jolly
good, off you go!"
