    • Owen's valley milk run. Walt's point to Janie's, 100+ miles

      Owen's valley milk run. Walt's point to Janie's, 100+ miles

      Over memorial day weekend, a few of us from bay area headed over to Owen's valley. I had flown Owen's before around 12yrs ago as an early H3 and always wanted to go back to attempt a real XC there. The idea of flying over 14k+ feet tall eastern Sierra mountains was awe inspiring, while extreme weather found in such a place was intimidating at the same time. We were guided by Peter Lawrence, who had explained the ins and outs of flying the 100+ mile course to the north end of the valley, especially how to avoid getting knocked around by the weather. In owen's handling is more important than performance, so I chose to fly Wills Wing T3 over U2.
      Several pilots from Reno and Santa Barbara joined in to make it a good pilot turnout. We had 20+ HGs at Walt's point. The day was looking good.
      I launched fairly late around 12:20pm. Found a climb right off the launch to climb over Wonoga peak at 12k MSL. This may sound like a lot of altitude, but it is modest for Owens, where getting below 10k means making a run for landing options. The lift was peaking so I headed north along the Sierra range. There was relatively light lift along the range and I was not getting above 13.5k or so. However, the scenery was breathtaking with several mountain lakes, jagged peaks and canyons along the way. I flew right next to Mt. Whitney, which is the tallest mountain peak in contiguous US. I made modest progress along the route while taking in the views and playing with lift along the spines. This consumed a lot of time, but was super fun.
      Around 20mi north I encountered turbulence, and realized that I was crossing Onion valley. It didn't last long as I crossed over to Kearsarge peak and climbed up to 15.5k at the next mountain. I felt getting light headed, and that's when I realized that something was wrong with the oxygen supply. It wasn't working at all. F@$%#! But I continued north while maintaining between 12 - 15k and 3.5hrs into the flight reached the cross over point at Mt. Tinemaha. It was well past 3pm and lift over the Sierras was getting weaker. So I was not able to get high there and had to leave the mountain at ~12k.
      Andy had landed a bit north around Big Pine, while Soham's location was unknown as his radio malfunctioned. Lionel stayed on Sierra's side and landed near Bishop. I headed towards north end of Big Pine hoping to find a landing option there. There was some lift along the way so I was still at over 9k when reaching the highway. Alex (Lionel's wife) mentioned over the radio that Soham's location showed up on life360 app and he was over White mountains.
      I found more lift over the highway which took me to ~13k and now the Black mountain at other end of the valley was within reach. There was a nice landing option right below it. So I headed straight for it and reached there while still being over 10k. There is a canyon just north of it, where people have tumbled before. So I needed more altitude to cross it. Before long I found some strong lift near the peak which took me to 15k.
      I headed north towards the White mountain range. There was super strong lift on this path and at times I was climbing 1k+ ft / min while flying at dive speeds without even turning. This was the strongest lift I had ever encountered in my 16 years of hang gliding. Before long I hit 17.5k without even trying. Crossed the White mountain at around 15k and now I really needed to get lower as signs of hypoxia were evident. I was able to get below 13k while continuing on course and soon reached Montgomery peak. Janie's was just around the corner and Peter, driving the chase vehicle, had already reached there. I flew a bit north of Janie's to tag my goal at farmhouse and turned around to find Janie's. It is an abandoned bordello with an airstrip, 103 miles from walt's point. That makes it a perfect goal
      It was around 6:30pm. Soham had already landed there more than an hour ago. Andy started a smoke bomb and threw some dirt to show wind direction. The wind had picked up a bit making the landing conditions friendly. However, I had lost my depth perception after 6:18hrs in the air, so I flared a bit too high and belly landed. I was so happy to be on the ground, with the glory of having made the goal on the very first real flight at Owens.

      11. Diavik Diamond Mine
      Located about 190 miles (300 km) northeast of Yellowknife in Canada’s Northwest Territories, the Diavik Diamond Mine is a remote diamond mine situated in a subarctic landscape consisting of two open pits, with a depth of over 600 feet (183 meters), and a gravel airstrip.

      10. Kimberley Diamond Mine
      Nicknamed the “big hole,” the Kimberley Diamond Mine is rumored to be the world’s largest hole dug by hand, measuring 1.2 miles (2 km) wide and 705 feet (215 meters) deep. Built by 50,000 laborers, the pit is so large, it is visible from space.

      9. Woodingdean Well
      At 1,285 feet (390 meters) deep, the Woodingdean Water Well is the world’s deepest hand-dug well. Work on the well, which is located next to the Nuffield Hospital near Brighton and Hove in England, began in 1858. Its purpose was to provide water to a nearby school and a “workhouse,” a facility where poor and orphaned people went to work in exchange for food and a bed to sleep in.

      8. Berkeley Pit
      Opened in 1955 by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, the Berkeley Pit is a former open-pit copper mine in Butte, Montana that is filled with heavily acidic water contaminated with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals. The mining-pit-turned-lake is one mile (1.6 km) long and 1,780 feet (542.6 meters) deep, with the water filled to about 900 feet (274 meters).

      7. Chuquicamata
      Located in northern Chile at 9,350 feet (2,850 meters) above sea level, Chuquicamata is the world’s largest open-pit copper mine according to its excavated volume of around 300 billion cubic feet (8.5 million meters3). At 2,790 feet (850 meters) deep, it’s the world’s second-deepest open-pit mine. The pit measures 2.7 miles (4.3 km) long and 1.9 miles (3 km) wide.

      6. Bingham Canyon Mine
      Known as the Kennecott Copper Mine among locals, the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah’s Oquirrh Mountains outside Salt Lake City is the world’s deepest man-made open pit, measuring 0.75 miles/3,960 feet (1.2 km/1,200 meters) deep. At two-and-a-half miles (4 km) wide and occupying around 1,900 acres (769 hectares) total, it’s also the world’s largest man-made excavation.

      5. Deepest Holes In Antarctica
      Last year, scientists with the British Antarctic Survey dug a 7,060-foot (2,152 meters) borehole through an ice sheet in West Antarctica. It was the largest hole ever dug using a hot water drill and the deepest ever in the region.

      4. Moab Khotsong Mine
      Located in South Africa near the Vaal River, roughly 112 miles (180 km) southwest of Johannesburg, the Moab Khotsong mine contains one of the world’s deepest mine shafts and man-made holes, measuring 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) deep, or nearly two miles (3.2 km) below the surface.

      3. Z-44 Chayvo Well
      Oil corporations are digging deeper and deeper to find the world’s remaining oil wells, resulting in some of the world’s deepest and longest wells being drilled in recent years. Completed in 2012 as part of the Exxon Neftegas Sakhalin-I project, the Z-44 Chayvo well extends 40,604 feet/7.7 miles (12,376 meters/12.38 km) below the Earth’s surface.

      2. Project Mohole
      In 1958, American engineers attempted to retrieve samples of the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho, the boundary between the Earth’s crust and mantle by drilling a hole through the Pacific Ocean floor in Guadalupe, Mexico. Funded by the National Science Foundation and run by a group of scientists called the American Miscellaneous Society, the project was controversial from the start, facing both political and scientific opposition, as well as mismanagement and cost overruns.

      1. Kola Superdeep Borehole
      In 1970, Soviet scientists began drilling the Kola superdeep borehole on Russia’s Kola Peninsula as a way to one-up the U.S. “Project Mohole.” The Soviets drilled from 1970 until 1992, boring a 9-inch-diameter (22.3 cm) hole extending 40,230 feet (12,262 meters), or roughly 7.6 miles (12.26 km) into the Earth, making it the world’s deepest man-made hole in 1989.

      What's really hiding under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado?

      There are so many rumors swirling around about what's under Colorado.

      Watch the 9NEWS special "Under Colorado" for more underground secrets, Saturday, Oct. 22 at 6:30PM on Channel 20.

      Many residents have heard about a secret military city under Denver International Airport, even a government project on aliens down there. Coloradans have heard about what it’s like inside the most famous underground military base in the world: Cheyenne Mountain.

      Just south of Colorado Springs is one of the most famous military bases in the world, but you can’t see it. It sits one mile inside of the granite Cheyenne Mountain, 2,000 feet down from the surface.
