I'm up for a little airport action. Looks pretty good at the moment. PDX is reporting ESE winds at 16kts.

Who loves freedom? If you love freedom you will go to the airport. Death to disbelievers.

(Who else did not take little red ridding hood home last night.)

Really though where is spike?

See you all at the airport... I hope.

Went to the airport. Once again I learned that that the airport is not good for kiting. Hit up Camas and met Stringer. Holy crap that kid is good. Camas (right in front of the mill) was totally amazing. Then it died.

Gman was right. Beware of the clams. They are Commie sympathizers.

Rooster didn't die. At all. At least until 4ish. It would have been ok with me if it backed off a little bit or steadied out some...

How do you get to this Camas launch? I sometimes try chinook landing when I want a little less wind on easterlies and it basically just sucks there, so a different option would be nice.

You just walk down the rocks right out in front of the mill. Basically, off 14 where it opens up and you can see the mountain. You just park on the left side of the road (if you are headed east) dodge traffic and it is a short walk down. It was really shallow out for a long way.usually not that much beach is exposed.

It still surprises me that people try to kite at the airport.
