I am thinking either heading to Pepin or heading up North to meet up with everyone. Is there enough snow to hold an edge? I'm in need of a long day of kiting

Jim

Excellent. I keep forgetting about Willow Creek. Maybe we can hook up sometime. Pete, Bill and myself will be heading out Friday. Not sure of the spot yet, depends on the wind direction.

Jim

If everthing works out I am thinking about Cannon for Sunday. Anyone coming down?

Jim

Thanks guys. I made a contact and found a few local areas they ride. We will be going out the first week of April. They have a around 80" of fresh snow, so hopefully they will still have some. It would be a great way to wrap up the Winter Season.

Jim

Does anyone have a contact person or forum in Colorado? We are heading out West (Dillon Co) and I wanting to know what areas are available for kiting. Searched the Web for Colorado Kiting but came up empty, just a bunch of Ads. Any help would be great. It was great meeting up with everyone this past...

I will meet you there around 3pm.

Jim

You must live pretty close to me, I live in the Lincolnshire Subdivision off 48th Street NW. My store is the Hy-Vee off 37th street. Stop in and ask for me. I"ll help you as much as I can. Just be carefull the kites are extremely powerful and can power up very quickly. Before you know it you ar...

Welcome, now we have 4 kiters in the area. Rochester is extremely limited for kiting. Cannon is probably the best spot, within 50 miles, it works well from all wind directions. Byllesby is good when the wind is out of the West. Give me a call and we will hook up, my cell number is (507) 251-6476. Pe...

I'll split a room. I am planning on going up Friday morning. Give me a call on cell phone (507)251-6476. Anyone up for Texas Hold'em Tournament on Friday Night after the Lighthouse Gathering?

A couple of years ago we tried to blow up 300 balloons with carbon dioxide to make balloon arches. Thinking we were really smart we returned to work only to find the air went flat by morning. All balloons were laying on the floor. We even used a product that should have made the balloons stay inflat...

What is this event? Is it an actual race or something like the Kite Freeze where everyone is hanging out kiting across the lake.

Jim

Is there any concern with the warm weather and the ice weakening. Is everyone planning on driving out to the island tomorrow.

See you Saturday

I agree with Tighe, I would certainly prefer to ride with others -vs- by myself. The only reason I will probably go the Cannon on Saturday afternoon is due to the job. (Some of us have to work on weekends, bummer :cry: ). I am planning on making the trip on Sunday. Who knows maybe I'll be sick on Sa...

I may be up for an afternoon of kiting at Cannon on Saturday. The winds are looking promising. Pete and I got skunked at Byllesby today. Would have been a great day for hot air ballooning. Call my on Saturday if your heading out. (507)251-6476

Jim

The winds are forecasted for s14, I think I will stick around and head for Cannon. Come on down if you are able.
Jim

I was thinking about making a road trip on Tuesday from Rochester to Kite Island. Anyone else heading out, around noon? Jim

Great. I am planning on leaving Rochester around 8 am or so( Get to Cannon around 9 am). I will probably rig up on the South end of the lake on the beach area. Call me on my cell phone if you desire (507)251.6476

Jim

If the weather holds off does anyone want to make a trip down to Cannon for the morning.

Jim

Sounds good thanks for the reply

jim

First of all a big THANKS to Scott for fishing my board out of Cannon today. I had a big wipe out and my retractable leashes became disconnected from my harness. What a drag!!! After getting the kite in the neutral position I could not see my board anywhere. After body dragging for about 30 minutes ...
