Thank you Michelle....I was amazed to see this....I want to go back...perhaps in a couple of years after the glow of this first experience wears off a bit.... #10408693

Uhhhh....nope not me....I'm a glider pilot (or was back in Washington)...I like wings on my aircraft...but they are so very beautiful to watch...I hope to get back there. #10409534

Maybe 2013 will bring you here....it is so worth the effort of planning and traveling...amazing place and terrific people. I would plan for more than one day though...weather can be a very deciding factor....we did three and wished we had done more. #10425276
