There are several areas in the Mt range where ACFT entering the Tucson valley pass low over the peaks. I had a near miss in the 80`s with...

Several climbs above the top,a few passes on the east and south side- big fun for a little hill. Light conditions nice thermals! Grea...

Too Bad it OD`ed early yet again at Miller. John Lowery stared brush clearing on Sat the 12th. Tom Morrission and I continued the effort, even widening the east launch some, on Wed the 16th- it OD`ed early that day and blew down! There is still plenty yet to be done- I am planning on cutting the stu...

Forecast looks like Box would work - if the thunderstor...

Tom and I cleaned up the East launch a little this week as well, following up on John efforts from Sat last. We were able to wid...
