Planning a 11:30 or noon arrival. My dad is also coming to drive. Anyone else coming?

Re: Daniels Friday 9/21
Good crowd showed up for a Friday, but conditions were weak because there was no base wind. The forecast was for 9mph from the South, but there was nothing. Only light thermal cycles coming in cross from the East which made launching a waiting game. Good cu's in the sky, but no one got up there. The house thermal was the last house on the spine between launch and the LZ. You had to milk the zero sink until some bubbles released. I managed two flights. First launch after 1pm was 17 mins. Second around 4pm I eventually climbed to 500 over and got an hour and FOD which put big smiles on my face. My dad came out to watch and drive for me for the first time and was impressed. Great dinner and beer at Fardowner's in Crozet on our way to Blacksburg.
