I would like to fly but no place looks very promising.  Too strong at Bingen, inversion at CLO.
Any suggestions?  Anyone else interested?
Mark

I meant to post this pic before now, but for what it's worth, here is a recent look at Detroit Lake/Hoover (taken on Wed July 11). Looked really good.

Detroit Lake was suggested but NOAA says:
Sunny, with a high near 79. Light north northwest wind increasing to 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph.
 
Bingen is definately blowing out. 
 
Sollie looks like the best but shows an inversion.
 
So far I don't see anything worth the time and gas to check out.  Someone please tell me I am wrong...
 
Mark

I think the lake level at Detroit Lake is also pretty high, so the LZs
will be reduced. When I drove by on the way to Lakeview last week
there was no brown shoreline visible and the USACOE data shows it's
only 5.5 feet below full. They're pulling water, but it has only
dropped 2 inches in a week.

The blue line on the bottom graph is the water level (wish I could
find some historical data to find out where it was when we were flying
last year):

Found it. Looks like the lake level was about 1560 feet when we were
flying last year. The lake is at 1563.4 feet right now. Somebody just
reminded me that there is the LZ by the highway as an option, so you
can still fly even if the lake is high. It just limits how much
exploring you can do.

Friday forecast does look pretty bad for soaring most everywhere. 
Saturdays forecast looks much better;
    Saturday at the coast looks light 5-10mph SW-W winds, the inversion is at a higher altitude. But still too inverted for Sollie. Good for sled rides though.
    Further North up the coast, like Neahkahnie and Ecola show 7-10mph SW-W. So these could work.  High tide is 11:35 Saturday also. So good flying at
    Ecola in the afternoon could be had. 
 
   Saturday at Detroit lake looks good.  Winds 7-8mph WNW all day. lapse rate to 6Kft. by 2pm and 7Kft. by 5pm.  
 
Saturday conditions look better than Sundays also.
 
Dave (looking to fly Sat)
