July 8th. I plan to "make the call" early Saturday. Sunday will be my preferred
rain date, since we have the preparation momentum going. On the bring side,
the deluge threy're calling for will cool off these 95 degree days and refill
the river a bit.

Stormy's place is stormy tonight, and it's forecast to get worse...
I'll post the official call by 8 am Sat, so watch for it before you launch!
It is very likely we'll scrub the mission until July 8th.
