We arrived at the park's south entrance after about a five hour drive. I been to valley twice before, but this will be the first time hang gliding there. The plan was to meet a group of friends at the campground and fly off of Glacier Point Saturday and Sunday morning. Photo by Helen

At the Bridalveil Creek Campground on the Glacier Point Rd. When we got to the campground all the campsites were taken. Some pilots from the bay area offered to share their site with us.

This is driving through the campground Saturday morning. This was to be our first day to fly. Due to the rain, we needed to come up with something else to do. Photo by Helen

We drove up to Glacier Point to check out view and lauch site. This is a view of Half Dome from inside the stone hut. We hung out here to stay out of the rain while talking to other pilots that were there.

We drove back to Washburn Point so we could have breakfast with a view. It was still raining, so we cooked and ate in the truck.

Helen and I at Washburn Point. By the time we finished eating the rain almost stopped. We took some photos before driving down into the valley.
