There was some advenure involved in pioneering Powell Point. Check out the tree behind Jochen. |
When Jochen prepared for launch, he was way down the hill from Stacy |
It didn't end up that way. In fact, his wing hit the tree in the background and he had a narrow escape. |
After Powell Point; Stacy Dave and Jochen headed to Mount Edna for site pioneering. |
Edna has turned out to be an awesome launch site. Here is Stacy launching off Edna during the Central Utah mountain flying clinic.
