26/6/08 - Chelan

Joy, Conrad and I drive to Chelan via the Ranch where Doug Stroop runs his school. Doug takes the time to show us aroind, nice training hills.
I pick up a 2m radio suitable for flying with from Doug, looks like he runs a pretty tight operation, Conrad is impressed with him http://www.paragliding.us/

Time slips by and we grab a quick mexican meal before heading into Chelan - the Beebe camp ground is closed so we overnight at Chelan airport. Conrad has invested in a small trailer which he tows behind the stealth mobile. Deserved comfort for Joy.

My tent from 2 years ago is still serviceable and keeps out a gusty southerly.
