road to launch open?
Does it look like the road to the main launch will be open for normal vehicles this weekend, or still ramping it?
I drove to the gate Monday just to see the condition of the road ... and could see that the road was completely dirt as far as I could see to the crest of the hill. (All the snow is melted)...
It looks like a mud fest... so I opted not to go up the road as my car was clean LOL.
I'm pretty sure the road would be passable to the top.... from what I saw....

There's a car wash in wurtsboro. I'll give it a try this weekend.
I'm headed up today, hope to be at the LZ noon-ish.
I'm not expecting it to be a thermal type day, so am opting for a later launch time. But I'll swing by the LZ and pick up anyone who made an earlier attempt.
There's a low and fairly significant inversion around 850 mb, ~1500 feet; pretty close to launch level. I think it will be ridge soaring with low level thermal action (though maybe no thermals given the cool ground from yesterday). Worth getting a feel for...will be interesting. Stick close to the LZ.
