A New Sport in Our Future

Here is an aerial view of our home, the one just above the home under construction in the middle of this picture. At this time we had not landscaping in our backyard nor a fence between our home and our neighbors home. Our home faces north and the backyard faces south. There is a large open field to the east of our home where over 350 homes are slated to be built in the next 5 years. Pictured is almost 1/3 of our ward boundary area.


These wonderful machines were buzzing around the skys in and over the sod farms to the south of our home one day when we decided to check them out. We soon were invited to take a 20-25 minute ride with an instructor and learn firsthand the joy and exhilaration these pilots feel slowly flying around Cedar Valley with its light air currents and vast sod areas on which to take off and land by permission of the owner. A group of affectionatos regularly fly nearly twice monthly in this area and come from as far away as Bountiful to the north and Provo to the south. There are so many wide open spaces, which make this area an attraction for these fryers.
