I met Steve K in the LZ at noon after mowing. John McAlaster drove up to launch to meet us there about 1:00. It was light so we waited for more sun. Steve was off first in the best sun/cycle in the hour that we waited and he started climbing out right away. The cloud streets were amazing and lining up to the horizon but one street seemed to be shading launch and not breaking up so the good cycles were few and far between. John was off next in a good cycle and he said he worked hard to get up but once up he stuck and ended up with a great flight OTB then south to Luray. I launched next and worked below launch for about 15 min before finding a boomer to dig my way out of the hole. I headed west under a great street and made it out to rt 81 later in my flight. Joe Schad, and Randy Weber showed up and flew later as well as one other PG pilot that I saw high as I was breaking down. Steve, drove Joe and me back up and I picked up John in Luray. Another great day at Woodstock.
