Default North East US ridge flight resources

Ridge Soaring's page has a "ridge tour" video that uses Google Earth to show landout options for the northern part of Bald Eagle ridge. Tom narrates it and its worth checking out. I'll admit to being biased but you'd have a hard time beating Ridge Soaring for ridge/thermal/wave conditions. Not to mention the bunkhouse atmosphere, group dinners out and the steady stream of interesting characters that fly there - all of whom are ready to share their knowledge with rookies and experts alike. The GPS numbers for various tasks are in a binder in the bunkhouse and his book Soaring the Bald Eagle Ridge is highly recommended (mandatory) reading and has most of the GPS numbers for badges etc. Lots of info about crossing gaps, tips and things to watch out for. The bottom line is that the Bald Eagle ridge has something for everyone. First timers to record setters all have a great time.
