Tried to teach Sunday

Took some students to Smithsburg on Sunday and after we got the gliders set up and moved to the landing area for ground handling/running it got windier. Sounds like Richard's attempt during the week. Figured we had a 50/50 chance and lost this time. We broke down after waiting for a while and left about 3:00 PM with a couple of students going with me to Woodstock to see this mountain site. Since I thought we could get blown out at Smithsburg, I had put my U2 on the Jeep with the trainers, so I was prepared. I launched a little before 6:00, flew close to the gap and back getting 1:10, a couple of thousand over and a picture perfect landing. Didn't get to teach much but atleast got to fly.
