Sod farm in Quincy WA


I know this is short, short notice. But there is an event out in Quincy this Memorial day weekend with quite a few other activities going on and there is an area reserved for NAPKRA members (due to insurance requirements) to buggy on. I myself have never buggied on grass and very much look forward to trying it out.

looking at the weather it looks like low wind kites will be the order of the day. I have flown there and I really enjoyed it. I got the first good landboard session with a depower kite there.

Had good winds Saturday and Sunday, I don't know about Monday. Learned about going big while pulling a tandem buggy. Got some big air. See last sentence. All in all had a good time.

As fletcht said winds were good Sat and Sun. A little rain Sun night but Mon wasn't bad either. Sorry to have missed the fellowship with you guys but had to take care of stuff. the early morning and late evening was the best for me, got some high speed runs in when the fields empied out, 3/4 mile runs on grass is nice.
Sorry not to have Sunset Jim make it but better safe than sorry, next time Jim and I will give you a ride.

We had some nice afternoon winds on both Sat & Sun. I was a little surprised at the ruff ride, especially over some of the sprinkler wheel tracks. We had a great time and it was well worth the trip.
