The original plan was to hang glide off of a feature called Molly's Nipple in Hurricane, Utah today, but the access road for it led to a long downhill with huge rocks that we didn't feel comfortable driving over, even with an AWD Subaru.
I didn't want to completely give up the chance to fly, however, so I set up my foot-launched powered hang glider on one of the dirt access roads to just fly from there.
Then the engine refused to start...
Then it almost stalled five times 30ft above the ground...
Then our radios stopped working...
Then part of the engine fell off and cut my power in half...
Then I called Sarah and she didn't hear her phone ringing...
Then my landing gear wouldn't zip up...
Then Sarah answered the phone and it dropped our call...
Then there were powerlines where I wanted to land...
Then I ran out of gas...
BUT, then I found the most powerful thermal I've ever experienced: 2,000 fpm! And it shot me up to 14,000 ft like a rocket, setting my new personal record!
...but, of course, the camera batteries died before I got there...
