Hi Joe,

Want to make up a late summer camp? I'll join.

Regards
Jon

Something sometime in July sounds good, is there anyone
with a towplane stationed at Salida? I thought there used to be anyways.

Give me a shout when your going to be there, I'd like to fly with you again.

Thanks a bunch for that info Nick!!

I will let you know it was great fun flying
with you in Nephi few years ago!

Joe Every time the Doors "Riders on the Storm" plays I think about you me Ramy and Eric flying under/along that huge thunderstorm southbound past Richfield.
We were young and wild back then eh??
At least we are still wild!

A few years back a friend and I launched out of Salida and were unable
to return due to weather.Â* The clouds were down on the tops of the peaks
and we eventually landed out at Alamosa.Â* As we were pushing our gliders
to the ramp, a funnel cloud descended from the clouds a few miles away.Â*
Fortunately it did not reach the ground.

I remember that vividly Nick! Would have been great to have
a video of the Lightning show as we were skirting around it!!!

This was an interesting day...It was only 5 years ago I think. We are still young
There is a chance I may be interested in Salida as well for few days in the beginning of July.
