Jeff Craig is going to discuss the weather situation with Greblo Saturday mid-evening. Greblo's concern is the possibility of thunderstorms. IF the decision is made NOT to go - Jeff will call everyone and let them know.
THEN, the decision needs to be made - should we do something else?
I'm thinking Crestline, Elsinore, or Dunlap.
The only problem with Elsinore is - unless you have already submitted your paperwork (which most have not) you can not land at the primary LZ - there are however numerous other LZs.
Dunlap is a 3 - 4 hour drive and REQUIRES a H-3 which is a problem for Jeff. Dunlap also has a $20 annual membership fee and a $5 - $10/person "contribution" to the Primary LZ owner would probably be appropriate.
I'm available by cell phone except for a couple hours Saturday Evening when I'm going to be at a Concert.

Garlock - Sunday 9/2/07
Moderator: Chip
I might show up on my own Sunday.
My read is that the North winds are dropping off and that Garlock should have some chance of T-storms Sunday, but not a large chance. Farther north in the Owens is another story. Reasonable chance of storms there over the Sierras. Maybe only late in the day, though.
We've had some rip-roaring storms up here in the Antelope Valley (and especially N and E of here.) But they seem to be better day by day, and farther East each day.
The Blipmap shows lower chance of storms at Garlock Sunday. And N winds only in the morning. The good news is that it doesn't look like there will be strong SW winds in the afternoon. That's usually the problem at Garlock.
Of course, all of this is a forecast, so be careful and watch the actual weather on the day in question.
Hope you all have great, safe and fun flights, whether I go or not!

Greblo thinks it is worth a "shot".
