Not
Again?
A beautiful, clear morning in Sauk County with calm conditions
on the ground SHOULD have meant a GO. With everyone
hopeful, Joe took off to check out the conditions
'upstairs.' But hopes were dashed when he radioed down to the crew, "It's
a no go; I'm getting my butt kicked around up here." Today
is the fifth day grounded at
Stopover #3 in Sauk County, WI. Ouch.

Florida?

Jennifer talk
about
predators and pens in
this audio clip.
