8/20 Craig's Dazed and Confused
Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2023 9:23 amBest chance today is probably SUlfur Creek where you might avoid the thick clouds
and get some 6/12M rides from Noon until 3. It's unlikely, but if the clouds open up.
maybe a few rides at DC in the 7/14M range between 2 and 5.
Tomorrow, strong SW winds at most locations, but plenty of rain too. AM favored
locations are your best bet before the rain rolls in so look for Grantsville in the 6/12M range
before 11AM, and Yuba in the 6/12M range until about 2PM. Sulfur should be up and reasonable
in the late AM to early PM in the 5/10M range. By 2 PM the rain rolls in with large gusts and holes.
Willard, DC, and Jordanelle could give you some screaming rides in the 5/10M range, but wind will
be erratic in the afternoon. Kiters might want to sit this one out. UL and Mona also with SW erratic winds
in the 6/12M range late afternoon through evening.
Tuesday, more rain, and less wind.

p.s, if you were thinking of coming up to Hood River to dodge the rain, the smoke up here right now
is terrible. I'm hiding out in an air filtered environment, watching the river and i can't see the Washington
side. probably last another day or 2.
