I Can Fly! ... (Tandem)... Kind of?

I've lived in Salt Lake nearly all my life. The point of the mountain is right next door, and it is world renowned for great, consistent paragliding. ...And yet I've never taken the opportunity to go? Yeah, that's not right. Well, today I took that opportunity and flew with it. My friends/roommates Connie & Cherissa joined me in the adventure, and I checked off another item on my 150 list.

Check out the pics and videos (there are a lot... it was just so cool):

The next video is a great one of Connie... I don't think that's the traditional way of getting the tandem rider ready to go, but somehow it worked.

















Ta dah!!! (the end)
