We ran a satellite operation out of a dirt strip in the Panoche Valley 35 miles ESE of Hollister for a weekend event attended by BASA club members with 3 of their gliders(2-2 place and 1 single) together with 3 private pilots and their sailplanes. I gave a ride in our 2-32 to Harmon, the father of a man whom I had given a ride to at a previous event and was now taking flying lessons.
Here's Harmon in the front seat:
Looking down at the little dirt strip:
At the end of the day's flying, there was a Bar-B-Que at the Panoche Inn just a short walk to the main road. This is a pic of the gliders tied down for the night under the full moon:
The next day everyone flew again. Here's a launch as seen from the road to Mercy Hot Springs:
