FLY-IN UPDATE: OCT 3-5

Post by eggzkitz »

UPDATE: We're tentatively still on for camping Saturday night and flying Sunday, but the location is TBD, and we'll make another weather call tomorrow (Friday) night at 9 pm. We might camp at HR Saturday if that looks like the better place for Sunday for the HGs. If we camp at HR, PGs will need to relocate Sunday morning to WS or Dickies if those look better than Pulpit. Friday night will be rain as the front comes through, and Saturday looks quite windy, but Sunday may be better. The overall forecast for the weekend has improved a little over the last 12 hours, but the winds are still stout.

Sunset is 6:50 p.m. and the weather is COLD and WINDY so dress warmly.

Here's the xcskies 3-day soaring forecast:
