Well it looks like business will have me in L.A. in about two weeks. I'll be staying over the first weekend in March, with nothing much to do. I'd really appreciate knowing if there's a good place to go flying, and people to meet in the process? This will be my first time in the area, though I may get back there a few times a year. I look forward to meeting some new friends, and learning to fly "west coast style"!

Any time you are in the L.A. area, head out to Belmont Shore on the weekends as there is flying usually going on. I'ts about 1/2 hr. outside of downtown L.A., about a mile south of the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Winds have been light due to some warm weather recently, so bring at least one ultralight to be safe. You might consider driving out to the Ivanpah Buggy Blast that weekend as well, it's about a 4 hr. drive up I-15. That's where we'll be. Have fun.

As far as I can tell this is his first posting on rec.kites, although I know that he has been lurking for several months. Chuck...glad to see you figured it out! I also wanted to second his comment about the "fun" group that meets on the fourth Saturday of every month just north of the Santa Monica Pier. Johnny and I don't have the pleasure of joining them on Saturdays very often. But we do know most of the kiters who do go there and they are all *great* people, and the spot is a good one to fly at. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Gina Hsiung North Library Annex email: hfoao033@huey.csun.edu Technical Services Dept.

I'd really appreciate knowing if there's a : good place to go flying, and people to meet in the process? Well, this answer has nothing to do with L.A., BUT, if you could afford to reroute your flight and schedule to stop in the Northwest enroute to L.A., you could attend the Fort Worden Kitemakers Conference. We would love to have you join us. We could probably find someone to provide local travel assistance from Sea-Tac (Seattle-Tacoma) airport and back on Sunday. Just a wild thought, probably a bit from left field. The fact that it's the first weekend in March that you have free was just too much to pass up. email with any questions Steve Millspaugh = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
