Woodstock tomorrow/Wednesday July 21

[Ward Odenwald]

Summer casts are often fickled but this evening's predictions suggest that It will be very good at Woodstock tomorrow afternoon. Excellent wind direction and very good lapse-rate predictions along the entire ridge complex. If the AM casts hold, I'll be at launch by 11.

East Coast Fly’n in West Coast Air

Better than expected. Three hang glider pilots flew: Giovanni (a new CHGPA member originally from Guatemala); Alex (an H2 from Blue Sky, currently under Bacil’s wing ); and yours truly. In addition to the low visibility, the odor of burning forests was everywhere. A reminder of how events thousands of miles away can impact our neck of the woods! Ten images that highlight my trip up to the north end of the Massanutten ridge with the last five showing the last climb of the day in a street that took me above 6,500 ft MSL.

PS: Very impressed with Alex's launch!

Wow your pictures sure show the haze from the smoke. Was it bothersome to breathe it?
