The record for distance is 46 miles. Rick said there has been talk about scheduling meets and competition from the hill in the fall or early winter this year. The only other close place for the gliders around Pendleton is in La Grande. "You've got it made," Pendleton and La Grande fliers tell Peterson. Rick flies sometimes three times a week. In all his flights, he hasn't been injured. He broke a control bar once but that was it. He said take offs and landings are the most dangerous parts of flying, although to see him perform those two skills, he makes it look easy. "When I'm with the kite, it's just me and the wind," Rick said. "But you put me on a tall ladder and I don't like that." His mother teased him about roofing their house. "I can't explain the feeling," Rick says. "I've never felt anything like it before." Rick said he used to be a real motorcycle nut. He has a motocross bike that is just sitting though now. Rick's dacron made kite weighs in around fifty pounds, a little heavier than most kites that run around 40 pounds. Rick admits he bought his kite a lot because of the aesthetic qualities. A rainbow of colors, the kite also boasts lightning flashs on the wings. The lightning coaxed fellow fliers at Clickitat to call him Batman and Flash Gordon. Rick proved his skill though, taking fifth. The competition called for precision landing and distance tasks. Weather called the meet off or Rick possibly could have garnered a trophy for one of the top three spots. It's 1976. This country has been on the ground for 200 years.

If camp fires are permitted on lands where you plan to hunt, then make sure the fire at your hunting camp is built in an open spot which is tree trom flammable material such as dry grass or forest litter. Camp fires are not to be left unattended, and must be completely extinguished before leaving your camp to hunt. Fires are not permitted outside your camp area during the closed fire season. The season will not end until general statewide rains occur and an official proclamation is issued terminating the fire season. If you smoke in the woods do so in a safe place. Do not smoke while traveling on foot or horseback.Stop, clear a spot, then rest and enjoy your smoke. Don't flip cigarettes and cigar stubs or pipe ashes. In the spot you have cleared, grind the ashes or snipe into the earth with the heel of your shoe. The weeds, grass, brush and timber may be wet now, but a few hours of sunshine will quickly dry them out. District Foresters, Forest Rangers and Range Managers are asking your cooperation again this year to protect your hunting areas and to KEEP OREGON GREEN. Good luck. Hope you got your buck, fellow huntor. 1
