Two brave pilot kissed the sky in Paradox and one not so brave pilot drove down the hill. Heading to Pony Draw in the morning if anyone is interested.

KS 28.05 15:59

Tim D is coming to Paradox too. If North will head to Pony Draw in the afternoon.

Mickey 28.05 10:54

Great weather this morning. Flew 90 minutes. Evening looking really smooth too.

KS 28.05 10:21

Looked like another Pony Draw day. If anyone is interested in flying something besides Tomboy give me a call. Pete Craig is meeting me out in Paradox to work on the launch. Forecast not looking good so might go to PD.

KS 25.05 07:51

Big Gype is way out there you need a driver and the road is really rough for the last mile. The launch is where the gas line comes up. Will be out in Paradox next Friday working if there is any interest.

Snyder 24.05 09:27

Are one of the launches you’re referring to at (38.3853040, -108.8903500)? I’d also like to fly big gypsum sometime at that south facing spill out

KS 23.05 19:47

Out in Paradox today. Found the old PG launch and another launch I never new about. Still don’t think I’ve made it out to Tommy’s launch yet. At least according to Tommy who is 72 and still alive. A rare thing these days for a HG pilots.

Mickey 21.05 07:35

Thanks mark for the updates.

MS 20.05 21:31

Some members have been hike and flying the North side. Karl said he had a great 20 min flight last week, and you can definitely climb out from there. Ridgway has been flown to from Tomboy launch.

MS 20.05 21:29

Mickey and others. Re telski – Currently we do not have access to either launch per Telski request due to Covid. Karl reached back out to them last week to see again to see where we are at with this but as yet have not heard back.

Pete 19.05 15:11

Hey guys. Long time no see. I don’t know where Pony Draw is, but if KS or anyone heads out there, I’d sure like to tag along. I’m Hang pilot only (at this point), so could bring my own truck / rack. Thx 970-708-4525

Mickey 19.05 09:01

Any news from Telski about driving up? Looks like the launch has melted, the road is probably not usable yet.

Mickey 17.05 09:04

If this happened because you don’t know the rules, please contact me and I will gladly educate you about PPG rules.

Mickey 17.05 09:03

Who ever flew PPG last night in Norwood low to the ground, close to the houses, to get five seconds of fame, stop being an idiot! You are fucking it up for the entire flying community. We have enough national forest BLM and public land around us!

Kdub 14.05 19:50

I’ll be heading to Mancos tomorrow too, meeting evan to shuttle, and flying Smelter on Saturday morning. Maybe Mark Snyder will join me.

PH 13.05 15:29

I’m meeting up with a local Mancos guy Evan tomorrow he says meet up at 430 for a glass off ride. I must leave town early in the AM. I can load up two or three more.

KS 08.05 18:42

Mike and David are camping out at Pony Draw tonight to fly tomorrow. Might join them.

KS 04.05 17:15

Heading out to Pony Draw tomorrow. Leaving my house around 7. Will be going by the Kiosk at the Basin store around 8.

KS 23.04 14:20

Got it. Don’t worry about it too much I’m still a Hangy at heart. I’ll plan on catching up with you Tues.

Mickey 23.04 12:17

My extra gear is in Telluride, not here in Norwood.

KS 23.04 08:22

Great. I plan on heading out to PD this weekend. Maybe I can swing by on my way. Looks like some nice weather coming. I new somebody would eventually feel sorry for me. Thanks

Mickey 23.04 07:45

Hey KS, I ll be in telluride Tuesday. If not too late for u, I have Altirando harness n extra reserve you can borrow.

Snyder 22.04 10:24

Crap sorry KS that harness was listed for sale and just sold this AM

KS 22.04 07:38

Snyder’s got a harness. Anybody have a spare reserve in their closet I could borrow? The weekend looks nice. Going to head out to Pony Draw if anyone’s interested. The launch will probably need a little work.

MS 17.04 19:59

I’ll update when something changes.
