Flying 10/8 - 10/9

[XCanytime]

Looking at Big Walker Saturday and the SAC Sunday. Eagle Rock and Woodstock look good too on Sunday. Bacil

[John Simon]

Hey Bacil,
I am hoping to fly Sat or Sunday. Gotta work until late Fri night, so I'll check in again at that time. Hoping for good weather and good luvin'.

Hasta

[XCanytime]

Now concentrating on the SAC on Sunday. Bacil

[John Simon]

Lemme see if I can be there... Told Adam I'd Mtn bike with him.

[Dave Gills]

What time are you going to be at the SAC Sunday?

[XCanytime]

Early. Got a pretty interesting XC attempt planned. Bacil

[Dave Gills]

Maybe we can make a deal for a chase car???
I don't have a physical address for launch.

The G20 in the sfc forecast at the Sac is now supposed to last until sunset. Grrr, I was kinda hoping for a backoff late day, and some fun on a floaty/falcon. Anyone seeing any signs of a lighter day than what I'm seeing?

Supposed to be N@10 for much of the day on Monday, which I do have off. Don't have much experience up there on lighter days like that.... Possibly worth a try?

MarkC

[XCanytime]

Absolutely. Get there early before the wind throttles back in the mid afternoon. Charley and I are planning on a very early launch and an early landing tomorrow. Bacil

My ETA is 8-8:30. Car is loaded. I plan on leaving about 6AM. I have both waivers in hand. I haven't been to the SAC since the early 80's.

[markc]

Urff, a departure by 6:00am? Not sure I want it quite that bad.

If the forecasts change and there are hints of a throttle-back later in the day, I might give it a try. At the moment, I see G20+ sfc pretty much all day... If anyone can point me to an alternative forecast, I'm all-eyes

If I don't head up there, I hope that everyone who goes has a great flight!

MarkC

[bowen.tim]

Marc, the puppy has me up at 4:30 - 5 everyday, and off to work during the week at 5:30. I am just an early riser!!

[markc]

Think I need a flying hound!

[John Simon]

Going to try for Monday. Lots of wind at altitude, and I'm no early riser! Hope to hear some good reports. Have fun.

[XCanytime]

Bailing on today. Throttleup is fcst at 10A+. I could get there by 8A, ready to fly by 9A, but would have to land in that stuff 10A+. Be safe Tim if you fly. Bacil

[bowen.tim]

Looking at winds aloft, they are really blowing. If the SAC was like Makapuu, I wouldn't hesitate, but I am bailing too. Back to bed with the puppies.

[Dave Gills]

GAP looks blown out also.
Looks like Templeton is the place to be.

[Joe Schad]

Looks like Woodstock will be too strong for Sunday and possibly too north and strong on Monday. I may head to Blue Sky for Tue and Wed.

You are missing an excellent day at Sacramento tomorrow. NNW winds @ 11 MPH. STFI conditions on launch. THE place to be tomorrow. Bacil
