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!

Re: Woodstock 6/24-25
I am at launch at Woodstock winds are pretty much straight in but some west cross. Winds from 5-15.
Re: Woodstock 6/24-25
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.
