November 11, 2001 Day 26 Fog and Wind: No Go Heavy localized fog this morning delayed any type of departure until 9:00 a.m. Once the fog cleared, two trikes went up to test the conditions. They got bounced around at altitudes above 350 ft, and the closer they got to the high ridge to the south, the worse it became. On site in Cumberland County, TN with the team, Heather Ray said, "It would be tough getting the birds to climb to the altitude necessary to climb the ridge in this type of rough air, so it was decided to stand down and hope for better conditions tomorrow."
