Hi Frank. Looking to tour the USA in my dotage. Would be nice to see your
map. Could you post a tinyurl please?


Thanks Jim.
The links were in the original message, so I assume that given the various software used to read ras, the links may have gotten striped out for some readers. Alternate directions to the main page:
* Go to the Soaring Club of Houston website (scoh.org)
* Click on drop-down menu for About Soaring - Cross Country
* Click on the link in the Top 20 US Soaring Sites box
* From the resulting page, you have links to the map, and the supporting spreadsheet and word document.

PS - I used to subscribe to the British Soaring magazine. Always amazed me to see their annual map of UK soaring sites, with gliderports about every 30 kilometers throughout much of the country - sweet!


In the UK, I'd head off cross country when cloud base reached 1800agl because if I fell out, I could get a launch from the next club en route;^)
