Haven't really thought of going up in a glider, but Jeff did. I gave him a gift certificate for an hour ride which took him over Tahoe and around the valley. I think an hour would be too short, but maybe not. We used to go up in a 172 on short jaunts when he got his pilot's license, but those days are over. He's got too many other irons in the fire now. And frankly, we're too damned fat for some of these things.
It's awesome, Sue! I went up last summer and it was amazing! Nothing like as high, as long or as far as Phillip Lee's trip in the video, but still wow, just wow!
This is a world I know nothing about. Thanks for the introduction. You considering going up for a ride yourself?

Wow, this is spectacular, Sue! Dad's a glider pilot - I'm sharing this post with him!
I hope seeing this video will make your Dad salivate enough to make a trip to glide over the Basin. Come with him and we'll have tea. (or coffee)
Now there’s an idea! 😁
