Dickey ridge Saturday May 3

Overcast right now but forecast calls for partly cloudy. I plan to be there around noon. Hoping for a back to back great day.

I'm planning to go. The SNP called me yesterday and asked that we get written permission to land at Dickeys. We need to do the same at Hogback.

Does anyone have a name/phone for the Dickeys landowner?

No as forecast. When I was ready to launch winds got switchy and gusty. Ten to eighteen and all over the place. I waited until the cloud band with some brief showers approached before bagging it at 4:30.

Did get to take with some of the many hikers though.
