Dinosaur (UT)

Sun: after a short night in Vernal (UT) we left for Dinosaur. Actually the (pretty run down) town of Dinosaur lies in Colorado, but the flying site (TO, LZ) is in UT. We easily found the LZ and also the way to launch, but unfortunately that gate was closed.


Dinosaur
launch (and there seem to be other options...)
So (once more) we tried to call Mike, who is supposed to be the local pilot here. But again the fone remained unanswered and even a personal visit to his house (the dilapidated and now closed 'Hi Vu' motel in Dinosaur) didnt't help. So we had to leave behind this site unflown, even though the cumuli started growing nicely above the ridge and the winds seemed rather weak :-((

So 2.5 hours driving brought us to Glenwood Springs (CO); we'll stay here for the next 4 nights.


...promising...
