Come to the Hat Creek Volunteer Fire Department's Annual BBQ fund raiser. It is located in the Hereford Ranch Campground off Hwy. 89. Check them out at their website: http://hatcreekrv.com/index.htm
When you are finished, join several hang glider and paraglider pilots for an evening of soaring the majestic cliffs of Hat Creek Rim. Pilots usually begin launching at about 5:30 to 6:00. They fly up to 4,000 feet over the top of the rim and stay aloft until the sun goes down. Drive back to the landing area to watch the pilots land.
The drive to the top is very easy. Any two wheel drive car, truck or motorhome can easily reach both the launch and landing area. (LZ #2)
If you have never seen this sport (or you haven't seen it in a long time) you owe it to yourself and your family to witness this glorious sport up close. I hope to see you there. Say hello and mention your membership. Jim

  Thanks for posting this!
  I wanted to spend more time at this event, but after the bike ride and a funeral, I was too tired and hot to want to hang around for long. I've been in Burney for 3 years and never been, maybe next year my plate won't be so full.
