Ron is well into a straight out ridge run in the Appalachians in his
trusty 1-26. He departed Blairstown NJ about 9:30 this morning and
he's currently on Sleepy Creek Mountain abeam Martinsburg, WV.

Original play was to push up to the front ridge and try to make it as
far as possible, but he got stuck for quite a while with the first
transition. Odds-makers now favoring somewhere in the Shenandoah
Valley as the finish point. Still a few hours of soarable weather
left, so it'll be fun to watch.

Looks like he just landed at Waynesboro (Eagle's Nest Airfield, east of
Staunton). Amazing!

Kudos Ron!!!
