Paragliding at Five Springs

Thanks to Shelley for putting together her video of me flying at Five Springs (Wyoming) in June.

I love it here. It's a nice launch and a good landing area, and I've never seen another person flying here. (That might be a negative to most people, but it suits me.) The launch is within walking distance of the small campground at the top, and the road up is paved. And the vertical is small enough (500m) that you can hike back up. Usually there are good thermals and reasonably long flights. Unfortunately, although you can't tell from the video, conditions this trip were not great for flying, there was a lot of wind and often from the wrong direction. That was disappointing after two years of no flying due to Covid. But it was still great to get back in the air.
