Got my first flight in at Hat Creek Rim, Northern CA, yesterday. High pressure, overcast, light winds. Two of us were up over an hour and 3000 over launch. This is a nice gentle site with easy access to a large setup area complete with portajohn... I mean ...potty. LZ s are large grassy meadows and although fairly surrounded by pines, easy to get into. It is no Miller, but it is a great place to renew my relationship with the sky. Near views while airborne are the snow covered peaks of Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta, the two southern most volcanoes resulting from the subducting Juan de Fuca plate.

Ok, it is a little rough on the edges but the "Woofos" at the end are almost worth waiting for.
