[@Mokley]  Paths.  Or once out of the forest.  =P  Even Nikki's not stupid enough to try a running launch in dense woods.  Good point about the updraft, though.  *nodding*

Nikki looking for launch points is more or less second nature.  She might not do it all the time, but if somewhere is reasonably good (or interesting), chances are she'd notice.  But I'll worry about that when there's something worth flying over/around.  ^.^;;
