I think there's a steep mountain near Woodstock, VA that's soarable in the lightest of wind, say 8 to 12 MPH. Forecast of NW winds at 10 MPH from 2P to 5P there tomorrow.

Do we still have a quorum for High Rock? Gary? - Hugh

[markc]

I'd really like to fly Woodstock today, to enjoy what fall colors remain down there!

The surface forecasts are pretty light though, not your typical WS call. One of the
3k forecasts shows building conditions aloft (good), but the direction also seems like
it could be more NNW than NW for much of the day.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions....

[Matthew]

Still leaning toward the rock today.

Anyone else?

Matthew

[mcelrah]

My count for High Rock: me, Ann-Marie (maybe David C. too?), Kelvin, Chris Hornberger, you two... - Hugh

[deveil]

well, since you said pretty please and since there'll be a small group and therefore enough other additional wire persons. what time to be @launch?

[dbodner]

I think I'm headed to HR today. I'm gonna stop off first at Smithsburg to air out my Sport 2 for the first time since January.

[heaviek]

AM Trail run in Frederick with the wife. *Planning* to swing by the rock after lunch. Sunday is my designated fly day, I am just trying to sneak in there today as well.

Fingers crossed,
Kev

[mcelrah]

Thanks, Gary! Sage, thyme and rosemary.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Jon Brantley in the roster for HR today.

- Hugh

[deveil]

[deveil]

thyme?
but then i've only been up less than an hour. you've a 3 hr head start.

[DanTuck]

I'm trying Woodstock today. ETA around noon.

[deveil]

and if you successfully work in something with rosemary, i'm not going to show.

[mcelrah]

I've got the live album from a long-lost concert recording when they first publicly performed "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". Kinda like when Dylan first showed up with an electric band. Feelin' groovy...

[chuckok]

Is there a count for Woodstock? Looks like Jesse, Bacil, and Dan ... The call is light, but the direction looks just about perfect. I'm thinking Woodstock about 1:00.

[deveil]

okay, cool, we've got your bonafides…but WHAT TIME DO I NEED TO BE AT LAUNCH? gawd.

Joe

[deveil]

uhm, is there still going to be anyone going to high rock? 'cause, i'm sorry hugh, but it'll be too cold with too little action and let's face it - you're just not than damn pretty for me to want to spend all day with you at high rock under those circumstances. i'm going to pull back a bit til i see how things are going to play.

gary

'hope i didn't hurt his feelings. but that's probably not an easy thing to do - the guys too damn chipper for his own good.

[deveil]

sometimes, too chipper soMetimes
