I was just over in the Frankfort, MI area and the Traverse City paper
was going to carry a story the day after we left about soaring in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. It also mentioned a book coming out about the same topic. Does anyone know anything about the name of the book or where one could get it? I did see and take a photo of the National Soaring museum plaque in downtown Frankfort. |

Sleeping Bear Dunes is one of several major Hang Gliding
sites in the area around Frankford. Clay in the ground and lake erosion has created the very vertical sand ridges hundreds of feet high, which only requires wind of 10mph to soar. In the distant past Frankford was a significant sailplane site since the ridges are within gliding distance of the airport and the area also gets some wave conditions at times. In the years I was Hang Gliding there the sailplane activity was almost zero.
