Walt,
Yes, two wings on my car will work; but bring your ladder, since I for now only have a one ladder HG transport system on my car.
I am hoping to leave latest 7:30 AM to start the day with some early flights on a Discus C.

Yup, looking like the place to be (HG) tomorrow! Daniels might also work, but think I will forego all that roadtime this weekend.

Did not fly today. Not that good condition after all. Strong side wind and tricky conditions. Knut

I spent the day at Taylor Farm with John M. and his students. We heard about the difficulties at Highland from Eric and Anthony who made it out to Taylor Farm in the afternoon. Great day at the training hill knocking the rust off. I placed an order for a new glider from WW and am excited to get back into the sport after a hiatus due to life stress: relocations, new jobs, etc.

Conditions were a little gusty in the morning but then it mellowed out in the afternoon and produced the best conditions at Taylor I've experienced there so far. After 17 flights from the top, I still wanted to keep flying it was so nice, but the body said no... might be sore tomorrow.

Good to be back!
-Jesse
