Anyone have insight into Sauvies? It looks like the conditions are right for it to go, but I'm a piss poor forecaster... Anyone?

If it does you are going to have a bitch of a time finding a parking spot/not getting blocked in. You have to get there by noon on weekends when it's hot to get parking.

Well not YET. I'd give it better chances than Sauvies at least. Increasing pressure differential and no east wind... it should go

I forgot how fun a big kite can be! After riding all summer
On my 10 rpm I rode for 2 hours near woodland on a 16
Havoc in steady 15 mph. It felt like everything was in slow
Motion! What a blast! 3 kites flying a 1/4 mile up river
From me. Looked like they boated to a sandbar and launched
There. Love the warm water.
