Thinking About Salida

Yes, it's only January but we gotta dream...

Miguel and I are planning to go to Salida, CO
(http://www.airnav.com/airport/KANK) again and have already made motel
reservations. Our planned flying dates are June 21-27 and possibly 28
to fly home, weather permitting. I've sent an email to Steve Bush
(Salida tow pilot) to confirm the dates. We had a good camp least June
with visitors from as far away as, IIRC, Oregon and Michigan.

If you haven't flown Salida before, be advised that you will need oxygen
but it will be available on the field. The mountain scenery is
spectacular and, depending on the direction you fly, there are plenty of
places to land out. We had high winds last year which provided some fun
wave flying in the vicinity of Leadville. There is ample paved ramp
space to tie your glider down and off pavement parking for trailers.

Besides terrific flying conditions, the Salida area also has hiking,
fishing, bicycling, white water rafting, shopping, great food... You
name it.

No registration required though it would be nice to know who'll be coming.
