We Can Fly!
(Warning - This document contains dated information.)
In August 1998, Cindi, my brother Scot, Ken
and I joined Rob Freeman in Ellensburg, WA to get paragliding
lessons. Cindi, Ken and I took a 6 day course with Mike Eberle at North
American Paragliding that got us halfway to our USHGA Para 1 certification.
The sight of Cindi (who's afraid of commercial aviation) running off an
1800 foot cliff was truly surreal. Unfortunately, our house purchase puts
a pair of new paragliding rigs (roughly $10K) temporarily out of our reach.

Well within 40 feet of the target!
