Miller Saturday?
Moderators:ioan, John Wolfe, aaroncromer, jlowery
It looks like a big-air weekend, if Soaring Predictor is right and the forecast holds. Miller is forecast S7 through 11 AM and then SW 15 by noon. Early arrival would be a must.

My Jeep is fixed from the debacle weekend before last. I plan on going out and could definitely use company. Anyone interested?

the forecast changed...
The forecasts are now unanimous that it will be strong SW all day, from early morning on, and on Sunday as well. Miller will be unlaunchable. It now looks like the Whetstones will be the only usable site on either day.
Forecast for the 'Stones has the high temp at 82, not too bad. WSW winds 17 mph from 11 to 2, 20 mph from 2 to 4 PM, 18 from 5 to 7. Very high top of lift forecast. It could be very good. Of course, there is that whole "hiking up" thing...
Anyone interested, given the new venue? I think we would be leaving Tucson around 11 AM.

ya didn't miss anything
Yeah, we went to the Stones. Hiked up with just my bag and found a 45 deg. crossed from the left wind. We waited and waited and all of the strong cycles were crossed and pretty strong. Didn't want to lug my glider all the up only to end up upside down on launch or something. So we left and went to the Steak Out for food and beer in Sonoita.....argh.

Oh. Right. THAT's the part of HG that I don't miss. Part of the sport tho'.Eric Tucker wrote:Yeah, we went to the Stones. Hiked up with just my bag and found a 45 deg. crossed from the left wind.
