Pulpit Sunday Jan. 12th

Narrow window at the Pulpit after the rain vacates the area. Warm too. And even a nice throttleback after 2P. And still warm. Bacil

As of Fri PM, a potential late flight at the Pulpit seems like it might be a better bet than WStock. Keeping an eye on things, very dynamic forecast... Sure would be great to fly on a warm early-Jan day :D

The Woodstock Tower Road is closed. And most likely will not reopen until next week+. Bacil

Still on the fence as of Sat night. W cross and (too?) light at WS, vs crankin' strong and hope the late-day backoff materializes at the Pulpit. Won't make the call until late AM on Sunday. Sure hope things work out *somewhere*.

At least 4 PGs are heading to Woodstock and at least 4 HGs are heading to Pulpit, including me.

Nobody flew at Pulpit. I heard PGs flew in VA.

Approx 11 pg's pilots flew at Woodstock and I think everyone had soaring flights. Some did multiple flights. Winds was on the light side and cross some from the W. The temp and sun was really nice there.

I was really tempted to go to WS last Sunday, but got entangled with visiting family members: we had fun

I am glad many PGs flew @ WS. The weather was amazing: god bless global warming!
