Ioan has a video of my last Box launch. I am learning how to use my harness as a plow to remove vegetation while I launch. Ask Ioan to show you the video and maybe you too can learn this useful technique!

Report on Box flights on Monday, April 4.
Ioan and I had very good flights at Box yesterday. Ioan drove us up the back side to a parking space just before the road gets especially nasty, and we hiked the road to the backside trail. After flying, I drove up to retrieve Ioan's vehicle. If you want to avoid a tough hike, the 2 vehicle shuttle ...

April 1 - Box flying?
I know that April 1 is April Fool's Day and maybe the weather department is playing a joke on us, but the weather prediction sure looks good. Tuesday's glassoff flight was amazing and I sure would like to get another one like that. Is anyone else interested? I will check again in the morning.

Report on Box flights on Tuesday, March 29.
Soren and I hiked to the upper PG launch and enjoyed an exceptionally smooth and strong glassoff. At 4 PM the wind at launch was mostly right up the spine and we hoped that it would swing around to the North, so we waited. At 5 PM the wind was favorable for the north launch, but the wind was gusting...

Box worked on both Wednesday and Thursday. I did not fly on Wednesday, but Soren hiked to the top launch and flew. He said conditions were very nice. He camped out and then hiked to the top in the morning (Thursday) and flew in the morning. I don't remember any other reports of a morning flight at B...

My reading of the forecast says that Mustang will be blown out, BUT BOX should work. I will be at the I-10, Houghton exit North side "parking place" at noon today (Thursday, March 24), then at the Box LZ at 1PM. I intend to hike up - maybe to the top - and get a flight. My cell is 549-8250. My home ...

The weather forecast is a bit confusing to me. The surface forecast looks like Box is a better bet for tomorrow. Mustang looks blown out on Thursday, but I don't trust the prediction. I will wait until the morning to make up my mind. If you have better ideas on what the weather will be, post your th...
