Taking off of Woodrat Mountain in Ruch!
Starthistle Fly-in is Memorial Day Weekend!
This Memorial Day weekend, May 28-30, the skies over Woodrat Mountain in Ruch will once again be filled with 100+ Paraglider and Hanglider pilots from around the nation for the annual Starthistle Fly-In. The Memorial Day event theme is Aero-caching, a take off on Geo-caching in the air. Visiting pilots will be given maps of the area with GPS waypoints and encouraged to explore the Applegate Valley as they soar high above in world-class thermals. Prizes will be awarded along the way and during an awards ceremony on Sunday.
Two of the most comfortable places to watch the activities are at Fiasco Tasting Room (8035 Hwy. 238) and Fly High/Longsword Vineyard (8555 Hwy. 238). For more information, call Karl Blust 541-944-9415 or visit www.rvhpa.org
