I went to Michigan Tech for my undergrad.
I used to stand on Brockway Mountain’s inland side on gusty days and dream of hang gliding.
Left after graduation for San Diego to start my career, found an instructor, got my hang IV rating, flew Torrey Pines and the Mountains for the next 9 years - the 90s basically.
Gliders: Wills Wing HP (jokingly called “hard pound”, small flare window) and x2 Euro Sports.
Sites: Elsinore, Mt. Laguna, Little Black, Big Black, Horse, Soboba, Torrey Pines, Blossom Valley

WOW! HOORAY adventurous Eddie 01. My mom (RIP) was born in raised near Calumet/Kearsarge (Traprock Valley). My parents retired near Copper Harbor (Lac LaBelle). Me and dad (RIP) used to go to Tech hockey games when I was in the U.P. visiting. Keewenaw was our summer vacation every year when we were kids.
