Tri-cites Wa. Slope sites

Hello, I recently purchased a home in Richland, WA. after flying in Nor-Cal for 37 years. I can see Eagle Butte from my back windows, but we can't fly there any more.
Since I learned to fly with a Gentle Lady and got hooked on PSS, I am hoping someone here can tell me where around the tri-cites area I can slope fly.
I have a Russ Thompson Spitfire, and a DAM 6 ft Foamy P-51, still in the box I have had them 25 years at least. I also have a John Higgins F-104 looking PSS as well as a flying wing John made. I would love to get them in the air too. (I flew with John several times south of SF and know his planes are know as Higgins Projectiles!)

If anyone knows some sites, I would love to know about them.

Thanks in advance,

Donn S.

Hey Donn

As I recall there were 3 or so really good slopes up there, and I think the others are still available, but don't know the details. There is a good power flying club or two up that way, and those guys should be able to get you the info as some of them also fly the slopes. @Scott Page is pretty active up there, and should be able to shed some light on the subject. Maybe he will see this call out. :)

Thanks Wayne.
I joined Tri-Cites RC club on New Year's day. The guys I met didn't seem to do any slope flying, but I only met a few of the members. Hopefully Scott will reply.

Thanks again,
