    It was definitely better than I expected! As usual, I had to go land early (nausea sucks 👎 ), but it was nice to get high enough to go from Cloud back to Marshall, and then still be able to fly back to Cloud if I wanted. That was a first for me. 🥳

    Here’s my GPS track.

    Yeah, the LZ is sketchy. There are a couple of different fields to choose from, one bigger than the other. I think as long as people land, pack up ASAP and move on, it shouldn’t be much of an issue. I overheard a couple of times from the local pilots that people would land, hang out, drink & leave garbage. That’s what upset the land owner, who then put up a fence. 😕 Gotta respect peoples’ property.

    Ugh!! That sucks! I had something similar happen to me in a local grass field. I was kiting my then brand new wing, when a dude and his unleashed giant poodle-looking dog came up. The dog started running through my lines, got tangled, panicked, and could have easily torn the glider. The dumbdumb just watched his dog and I struggling, instead of immediately grabbing him and getting the heck outta there. He was apologetic, but how about instead of watching, you come take control of your panicked animal? Clearly it hasn’t been trained to behave off-leash. By now our dogs know better than to get near gear, but you never know what to expect with strangers. :-/
