wasn't there a story a few years back.. same idea.. the glider pilot
launched in the Ohio area in front of a fast moving storm and landed near
Cape Cod Mass.. he

There was a German student who, in the very early 70's spent a summer at
Pearblossom. He had use of a Libille and would fly out as far as he could go,
tie the glider down and hitchhike back to get the trailer, get the glider and
do it again. He had some interesting adventures in the wilds of Nevada. You
could do a weekly show on his adventures, most on the ground.
