High Rock Sat10Aug ?

[markc]

High Rock sometimes works pretty well on north days, and tomorrow's
'cast is N@5-10 . Anyone thinking of giving it a shot?

if N. 5-10 is flyable in a Falcon I'll give it a .......try

I was thinking Ridgely if the conditions aren't too strong on the ground. Nearly due North is not the best direction there if I remember right but it could be doable if the winds aren't too strong.

A mountain flight and a little cooler air would be nice too.

Yup, Highland's definitely another option! I'm leaning towards
High Rock because I haven't gotten to the mtns much in recent
weeks. I guess if it looks more NNE than true north tomorrow,
then I might go for the towpark.

The 'Sac might also tempt me, though it's a bit of a gamble
with light winds.

PS: No NOTAM in effect for High Rock as of 6:50pm Friday.

I see a 3k forecast that says there will be north aloft (not NE)
during the early afternoon. And a surface forecast with north
all afternoon, except for one NNE period at 3pm.

so.... what's the verdict? anyone want to try the rock?

Mark, I'll drive up and give it an eyeball. I never went up there when it's North. If I can get some straight in cycles i'll launch, If it's crossing i'll pass. I won't know until i'm standing on the block.
I'll be up there by early afternoon. 1ish

Mike L reports NNW in the valley, and is planning to head
up with Rhonda. I'm doing the same, hitting the road in
about 20 minutes or so.

We went, we set up, we sledded, we drank beer.

Direction was pretty good, especially from about noon to 1pm.
But there just wasn't enough wind blowin' to give ya much of
a chance. Ah well.

Mike L, Rhonda, Shawn, myself. Checked out a bunch of HG
photos that Mike and Rhonda had on their laptop, good stuff!
