"We’re going to try to make it to South Lake Tahoe today,” said Greece before the team launched this morning. "Tomorrow, we’ll try to get to the south end of the Warner Range outside Alturas, California. From there, it’ll be on to Oregon—Drake Peak.”

In the old days, they called it "sky camping".

How inspiring. My hat is off to these USA pilots. 

 

Just a reminder, when attending a mentored XC event, like the Rat Race or Sun Valley Open Distance Nationals, these are the type of experienced pilots you learn from and fly with.

Where's Drake peak?

[Steve Roti]

It's in the Warner Mountains north of Lakeview.

Drake Peak has been flown before, but isn't considered an active flying site.

"Got stuck with stable weather just shy of the Oregon border, but Eric Reed pulled through and landed at Lakeview, Oregon to complete the expedition. We'd love to continue even further, but alas we'll have to wait for next year."
