I could be convinced to meet you there for Sat.

Looks like it might be light, but the direction seems good.

Not sure about Sun., but I will keep an eye out. ;-)

I'll take another look in the morning.

Will be going tomorrow, Sunday. Just can't make it today.
Assume Pulpit will be a better choice for HG on Sunday. Or is WS still up for Sunday?
Have fun!

Randy launched his HG 1st, then Tom, Chuck and John M. Randy came back up with Justin and they both took off on their PGs. I was the last to launch, flew for a short while and couldn't get but 500' over. The valley air was buoyant so I had plenty of altitude and had a nice landing in the new primary.

Sunday 6/25
Arrived on launch as Gary S. was launching. John M. was in the sky. Gary reported declining wind speeds so I decided to fly my paraglider. I ended up a few miles north of Front Royal after doing a dogleg with the turnpoint at Dickey Ridge. Launched at 2;44, flew 1:36, Max MSL 7503 ft. Ended up pulling big ears to get down, concerned about increasing wind speed, penetration and the large patch of trees to the east that I did not want to end up over. Controlled airspace was also an issue, but I was playing it way too conservative in regards to the airspace, live and learn. Thanks to George for the ride back to my car.
