Jones looks like it will go.
RR seems like it will go too, with easterlies.
The forecasts are a little mixed, anyone care to clarify if you can?

WESTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE-
INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...ROOSTER ROCK...CASCADE LOCKS...HOOD
RIVER...STEVENSON...CARSON...SKAMANIA
940 PM PDT FRI SEP 19 2008
TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED EVENING SHOWERS. LOWS AROUND 50. WEST WIND 5 TO 15 MPH...EXCEPT 15 TO 25 MPH NEAR HOOD RIVER THIS EVENING.
SATURDAY...PARTLY SUNNY. HIGHS 65 TO 75. WEST WIND 5 TO 15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. LOWS AROUND 50. WEST WIND 5 TO 15 MPH.
SUNDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS. HIGHS 65 TO 70. WEST WIND 5 TO 15 MPH...EXCEPT 15 TO 25 MPH NEAR HOOD RIVER IN THE AFTERNOON.
And yet, Airnet is calling for light Easterlies at Troutdale. Ikitesurf calling for Westerlies throughout the gorge. My guess at this point is no Easterlies at RR, but who the hell knows?

Saturday Astoria forecast 59H, Kelso 64H. I doubt this will create enough gradient for Jones, but I keep hoping. How about Lincoln City?

sailflow has been accurate for me at jones, and it says it'll go...
for RR i'm seeing E and W depending on the site, like Nak.
pretty unlikely, I guess.

I'm showing up at work today.
Forecast says I need to pay my bills.
Hoping Monday will blow somewhere. Sunday & Monday off.
Flydunes forecasts if I kite alone, pack swim fins.
PMB forecasts I'll be an idiot whereever I kite.

HR is already pushing 10+ W, if you can handle the gusts and the cold. I' going to wait until 8:30 to make the decision.

I'm actually going paragliding today! I almost never fly anymore since I started this f-ing addictive other sport..... and the forecasts at least look decent for flying.
