I know this is dangerous, but . . . Mark's cell is 724-388-8380. Thanx!

So did Mark get thrown off the forum or something?

Going to WS tomorrow. Steve 202 812 8305. Talk in the morning

[SheilaGardner]

Hey Steve! He always checks it but never got a username and password. Unfortunately he can pretty much only go to the Pulpit - Woodstock is too far, for tomorrow anyway.

I have off Thursday and am planning to go to the Pulpit. Ward has his sights set on the Pulpit too. It's looking pretty good so far. I will contact the Gardinator tomorrow about it on his phone. Bacil

The Gardinator is in for the Pulpit tomorrow. I'm in. Ward should be too. All retirees are welcome too . I'm planning on bringing one I used to work with at ITT. Should be a good one. Bacil

Sheila (you dear you),
well, i finally got ahold of my people and they told me that i'm not able to take the time off, so if you could tell Mark to tell his people that my people will be getting ahold of his people to tell them to tell him what they told me, then…well…then he'll probably want to tell me something that he won't want his kids to hear.

Well 2 outta 3 ain't bad. I picked up the retiree at his home in York, PA just before 9A, then on to the Pulpit by 11A to find Ward up on the ramp observing the north cross. The Gardinator pulled in between 11:30A and noon. The nice landowner from my XC flight on Sunday showed up with her husband to watch us fly. Had a nice launch from the pad at 1P, but it wasn't congealed yet. Extendoed to the secondary, landing to the north. Gardinator waited till 4P to launch, and got up in the north cross. He lost it to below the ridge, then found a good one down by 16. He topped out at 5.2K' over at base, driving all over the valley in front. Ward launched about 4:30P, and slowly climbed up. He got to 3K' over and went OTB towards Mercersburg. He didn't find much, and put down in the huge field right next to the Mercersburg Academy entrance off of Rt. 16. Mark followed OTB, and was at 6K' MSL north of Mercersburg, but decided to burn off the altitude and land with Ward. I drove Mark's vehicle to the XC LZ, and the retiree followed in my truck. Then back to York to drop off Tony the retiree, and then back home again. Bacil

Good to see some good flights this week! Wednesday was a good day for many PGs in WV/Roanoke/Woodstock with some XC miles logged. Post frontal north west winds seems to be the ticket.
