So lessee....

To me, the winds aloft 'cast isn't screaming Woodstock,
and one of the surface casts says no more than 10 for
that site.

High Rock looks good, but one of the surface casts is calling
for NW@15 from 11 to 1pm. Could be a bit strong on launch.

And the predicted NW@10 at the Pulpit would be doable, but
looks like the winds turn NNW by 1pm.

Place your bets!!!

I'll kill myself before I take up golf. But it's looking like HR to me. Too N for Pulpit, too weak for Woodstock.

Leaning away from Woodstock, seems like it will be too N,
and I'm even seeing some NE from the real-time stations
in the valley....

Ok, I'm with Dave, High Rock it is!!

Could be a bit on the strong side mid-day.

Heard from Dave and Dan T, and they are planning
to give it a go.

Let's fly!
