When we are in this area, Lookout Parkway is a favorite road for us that runs south from Lookout Point toward Trenton, Georgia along the top of the ridge. Today, we were hoping to watch a hang glider leaving the ramp in flight.
As we approached the ramp area, we caught site of a glider high above the ridge.
I think it’s going to be our day to see a “take-off.’ There’s a hang glider beside the ramp and soon this guy is getting into his gear.
He approaches the ramp and my heart begins to pound, for him.
Two gentlemen visiting, help the glider to be steady.
At this point, the guys are just chatting and waiting for the right wind.
The right wind came.
Here, I would insert the video I took of the glider leaving the ramp, but I can’t without uploading it to YouTube and that is just more than I want to do right now. It was really cool, though.
Here’s the first picture I took of the glider. He’s way up there.
Don thoroughly enjoyed watching the hang glider and is imagining being able to fly through the air in this manner.
Getting closer to the
He is now over the landing area.
The shadow indicates that he is on the ground, safe and sound.
What a beautiful day for hang gliding watching.
