Yeah, and it looks like it needs a wide, grassy slope launch and LZ. Might be tough requirements around here.
Oh well. I didn't have $78k anyway.

Forecast is looking good so far
The forecast for this coming weekend is looking good so far. See http://www.soaringpredictor.info/phoenix/Oatman_Mt.htm and http://www.azhpa.org/azhpa_forum/viewforum.php?f=50 . I'm thinking about a multi-day trip, maybe Friday morning through Sunday afternoon. I'm flexible, however, and willing to ...

A little more detail, FWIW.
Apparently the USFS has been doing work on the Carr Canyon campgrounds. See the March 3rd post here: http://dogsnotonmywindshield.blogspot.com/.
The closures in Miller Canyon were lifted on March 6th. Upper Carr is still closed until July 31.

Oatman fly-in
I'm interested if the forecast looks good. Orrin Smith say's he's interested. Rafael, Eric T, any interest? Anyone else?
I could do it as a day trip or as one or two nights camping.

Miller Canyon now scheduled to re-open July 31
Very bad news from the US Forest Service. I just spoke to their office in Sierra Vista, and was told that the re-opening date for upper Carr Canyon road has now been slipped to July 31st, 2012. Frankly, in speaking to them I did not get the impression that there was any confidence that the July date...

Box Saturday?
I'm thinking about flying Box (HG) on Saturday. The forecast is W10-12 in the afternoon if you believe the Soaring Predictor, or NW10 if you believe ADDS. The top of lift looks ok, 9-10k. Any other takers?

Whetstones Saturday?
Looking pretty breezy out of the southwest saturday afternoon. The SoaringPredictor forecast for the Whetstones has it SW20 from 2-4 PM, and Dr. Jack and ADDS seem to agree. There's even a decent top of lift and -3, it could be good for HG types. Eric Smith and I are planning on being there, anyone ...

Whetstones report
Visiting Canadian HG pilot John Theoret and I went to the Whetstones on Sunday. The forecast was for strong (20+ mph) WSW all day, overcast partly clearing in the afternoon. It seems like the weather got there early, because it was good when we got our stuff up to launch, but by the time we were rea...
