Subject: Cascades2 report for Mon evening, Mar 16/17.

In for winds (mostly) and nice clear skies at all
three sites, but minimal aurora, nothing even worth 
getting nervous about let alone dropping the count.
Stereo promises more activity tomorrow night, so
here's hoping.  Skies are clear and winds are
gusty but seem workable.  Up on the science/TM
hill, the ground winds continue to be ... interesting
would be a word.  The TM van rocks and the science
building howls...walking across the parking lot
is a challenge.  But the balloons are happy so 
as long as we can remove the shelter and go vertical,
we seem to be ok, which is different from (but better
than) last month...more like Andoya last year.  And
we managed to launch then, and here we don't even
have to worry about fishing boats.
