Thanks,

If you go to the flykingmountain website and download the non-photo placemarks, you'll be able to review their flights, along with a few others.

Here's a link to that web page: http://www.flykingmountain.com/ge.html ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Ernie Camacho) http://sonomawingsbb.yuku.com/sreply/5169 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:53:15 GMT http://sonomawingsbb.yuku.com/reply/5168/t/2008-King-Mountain-HG-Championships-Report.html#reply-5168
I'm sitting at work taking a break and just smiling!!

No long distance flights for me this time but more than doubled my hours for the season.

The fishing was great and so was the comradery!!

It was just what I needed to jump start my xc flying season.
