Fly away!

I went to Fort Funston today.  Like many areas along the coast near San Francisco, Fort Funston was at one point used by the military. It's been decades since it was last used for that function.  Now it is a coastal area popular for hiking and even dog walking.   But the most unusual activity that occurs here is hang gliding.
 
Setting up to hang glide on a nice windy day.
Ready for take off!
Dogs don't require leashes here.  These two are roaming freely and begin chasing after the hang gliders overhead
One of the many steep trails leading down to the beach and ocean.

  1. I guess the drivers felt really great with the support of wind and sunny weather! Why don't you try it too? Maybe I don't have the courage to fly by myself, ugh >_<
