Don't know how it was elsewhere but Dickey Ridge was really sweet. In fact, I think it was probably the best day I have ever had there. Lift everywhere. Not real strong -- 250 was a typical reading-- but huge big fat stuff. My skills at lift avoidance, honed over the years, were useless as I was wafted helplessly into the cold and cloudless blue..
5800 msl over the junkyard at Bentonville (7 - 8 miles SW of launch -- nominally upwind but there was no wind). Realized that I could easily make Woodstock and considered it.. But then I would be in Woodstock and my car is on the Skyline Drive. Hmm. Think think. And my Usual Saviour, St. Schad, is in Manquin. And my Backup Saviour, St. Lauren, moved to Florida. So, it ended up as an out and back to a junkyard. Hey. We do what we can. .
