Re: Training Hell ( not a mispell! )
Eric, Rafael and I ended up at "A" mountain. Eric and Rafael had short flights, I was late getting up to launch and found it had gone southwest. I waited until a gust front came through and made it too dangerous to hang around on launch hooked-in. Backed off (with some difficulty) and broke down, ca...

Re: Flying this weekend
Yes, all of the HG pilots did fly, although in my case just barely. Orrin Smith got as far as former SAHGA member Jim Lindsey's ranch, a bit past the San Pedro river on Charlestown Road. He didn't know Jim lived there, just picked a nice looking place to land amid miles of cat-claw, and there Jim wa...

Re: Miller Saturday?
Eric Smith, Mike, Jake, Eric Tucker, Raquel and I wound up at the Miller north launch at around 10 on Saturday morning. It was a gorgeous day, blowing north northeast around 5-8 and the ravens were already soaring when we got there. We were concerned, though, about the possibility of an early switch...

Miller Saturday?
Looks like light 6000' winds aloft (0-5 SE) for Miller on Saturday morning. Thinking about hitting the LZ around 9 AM.
Any interest?

USFS says Miller/Carr Canyon road is open
I just spoke to Andrew at the US Forest Service Huachuca ranger district office, and he says that the road to the Carr Canyon campground is open for the season. I was surprised because I hadn't seen a press release on it, but he says it is. I don't imagine the road to launch has gotten any better si...

Re: Flying this weekend - Box
Eric, Rafael and I spent some time in the morning cleaning up the bailout LZ. It was still early so on the way up to launch we detoured to look at a place Eric wants to develop into a new HG launch, along the northwest-facing wall at the back of PG ridge. About 2 we went out and set up. Eric was off...

Re: SAHGA meeting reminder for March
Also, we'll be voting on a new HG flight director, assuming we have a quorum (7 members).

Re: 2013 American Cancer Society Climb up "A" mountain
I picked up the event T-shirts today. They are a lovely shade of traffic-cone orange with black logo and lettering - very visible! I'll have them when we meet in the parking lot of PCC west at 7:30 AM.
See you there!
