Sadly- I didn't get to fly. But got in a few hours of some of the best kiting I've ever done. At times I could barely see the wing over my head- but the wind was reasonably smooth and steady for some great kiting conditions. Sadly, the clouds never lifted above launch, and none of the pilots, some of whom had driven over 3 hrs, got to fly. That's my yellow carbon in the foreground, and there was a nice selection of other pilots of both types that had come to sit in the clouds.

Mt. Greylock is an easy 45 min drive from my place to launch on paved roads. There's a restaurant and ranger station at the 3,500msl top, and plenty of tourists. Beautiful launch areas and it works great in SE conditions. Some day- I'll actually get to fly there. It poured rain all day today (sunday).
