SBIFF 02-05-06

Today was a slow day for the festival so we went on a motorcycle ride up into the mountains to an old stage coach station that is now a tavern / restaurant. Mo McFadden, one of the SBIFF press liason's showed us the way. Spectacular views, great roads, and the Cold Spring Tavern makes a mean grilled beef sandwich with homemade mustard / horse radish sauce.

I wanted to try and get a couple of flights in at the "Fly Above All" training hill in Santa Barbara so we made it over there early afternoon. Free flight instructor Bob walked me through a couple of flights without a motor for the first time. I did pretty good and am planning a free flight from the 3000+ foot cliff above SB. The locals say you can launch from there and fly over SB all the way to the beach, we'll see.

Stay Tuned...
