Missoula - raising money for an LZ

The members of the University of Montana Hang Gliding and
Paragliding Club have launched a fund-raising effort to help secure one of the
premiere launch sites in Montana. Our goal is to raise 25-thousand dollars to
build a road and obtain a land use easement in the Tarkio area.

"A sympathetic and appreciative land owner, who gains great
satisfaction from watching free flight, has generously provided us with the
opportunity for the road which will allow limited access
in the Tarkio valley,"
said Paul Roys, a member of the UM Hang Gliding Club.
But the Tarkio spot is going to cost them. The club is looking to raise $25,000
to make it fully accessible.
We'll be able to fly in varying weather conditions out there. We'll also be
provided with a much safer launch and landing out there which would be great to
bring new pilots into the sport and help and help the sport continue into the
future, Roys said.
