Pine Mountain flights

Postby dteal » Wed Aug 11, 2010 7:41 pm

I'm officially obsessed with Pine Mountain and the surrounding area, so I'd like to start a thread about flights and experiences from Pine. It would be great to see GPS tracks, pictures, reliable thermal triggers, bail out LZ’s, normal LZ's, what to watch out for, what works on what days, things not to do, etc. Feel free to share anything you want.
I’ll start it off with three fantastic write ups from John Scott (‘cause I don’t have any epic flights from Pine yet):
1) Scroll down until you see Pine Mountain: http://www.hanggliding.org/weblog_entry.php?e=534
2) http://www.hanggliding.org/weblog_entry.php?e=84
3) http://www.hanggliding.org/weblog_entry.php?e=50

And here are two additional write ups from others just last weekend:

http://scpa.info/bb/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1970

The only observation that I can share at this point is that Reyes Peak is a sink hole - everyone that I've seen go there sinks out, including me last weekend. Anyone have a different experience?
