Got a report of a paraglider that had landed on top of the hill in the trees this weekend. Who, what, when, why????

That would be me. I'll post an incident report when I get a minute, but the short version is on Saturday afternoon I took a big collapse and ended up low over the top of the hill. I couldn't penetrate back out in front so I decided to land on top. Of course there aren't many options up there so I picked the trees over the power lines. No injuries and Russ awesomely came back out with me the next morning to extract the glider from the tree.
