I've been asked about Friday.

The Launch WILL BE CLOSED on Friday Oct 28th.
I don't care how epic the weather is for flying. There will be ongoing construction and no foot launching will be permitted.

Thank you.

Day 3. 6:15pm. Another nice sunset and good work day. A long day for the skid operators. Another ~500 tons of soil brought in today. Lots, & lots, & lots of back & forth trips...
Michael helping on the skilled craftsmanship work today and again on Friday. Bench and sign are progressing – Thank You!!!
Two more days to finish up. Looking Good.
Showers forecasted for tomorrow hopefully don't cause slippery conditions to slow us down.

Day4. Woodstock Launch. Getting slippery w/on-off showers. Seeding & hay is down on the edges. The extended launch area off the front on the steep slope is coming together. Slow but sure.
THANKS to Joe & Rich for the help out here today!
There was also a political sign opportunity with the nice view.
Finishing up the majority of the project on Friday Oct 28th.
