I don't care if you look at the video. But if you open this thread... please vote.
Very interested in the results.

(btw. Theeee Old Dude won this bet)

When we were there last year, I saw a few cars with these long "things" on top, covered in canvas. At first I thought they were canoes or kayaks of some sort (or maybe very large tents), but no, they were hang gliders. I didn't know it was legal until then.

But aren't they only allowed to fly on Saturday or the weekend? When I worked in the valley (many years ago) they flew every day.

Yes, It is weekend mornings only.

Those "long things" on top of cars are all over in the Owens Valley now. With the 100* temps, come the hang gliders seeking incredible lift...

Just got back from Tuolumne and saw what I thought was a strange boat or part of one being pulled on a trailer. Perhaps this is what I saw. I would have thought this would be illegal... glad to see it's not. Very cool.

If it had what appeared to be a vertical fin on the top, it would have been a sailplane trailer. (Saw several of them on US395 last weekend.)
