I was looking at the readings and checking some cams yesterday. It appeared that it was blowing at a pretty good clip at Rufus, Arlington and perhaps even area 151. Even the Dalles was posting some #'s in the teens. Any of you east gorgers get any yesterday? http://www.fsvisimages.com/cori1/cori1.html

Link is a good eastside gauge on how and where the cloudline is and what the wind is doing.


I'm just wanting to hear about kiting instead of reading about break-ins.

Saw some pix on Facebook of Sol-Flyer getting it really good! I was to busy at work to head out east.

Yes, I saw 4 kiters and 5 windsurfers at Rufus yesterday.
It was sunny, near 60 degrees, and blowing 20-25+ all afternoon.

got about 2 hours at Rufus. Sunny and warm but a little gusty. Overall an awesome sesh. Thought about stopping at Mosier or the Secret Spot on the way but glad we didn't. Saw about 6 kites at Lyle on the way back, but it looked cloudy and gusty there. East is a safer bet for the best wind this time of year.

Exclamation Thx for the replies and pics. I love the lush velvet green scrubs and grasses that grow on the canyon hills and walls this time of yr. Makes for some great contrasts!
