Default Mid Week Towing Availability

With the contest season a bust this year I am thinking about taking the glider on a road trip to someplace in the US where I can fly for a week or more. So - can we please start a string here about tow operations where tows (or even winch/auto launches) are available mid week, or 6-7 days per week?

Location, days of operation, and contact info would be great. Info about motels, camp grounds or on airfield camping would be helpful too. Sadly, I can't share any information myself as there are no operations in New England that are operating full time 7 days right now. Sugarbush VT did not open this year.
Thanks
ROY


Roy, too bad that Sterling cannot get you in the air at least 6 days per week. If you hold off until October the weather here in Florida can be very good for soaring. I have often said that October can be a dynamic month in Florida for flying gliders. I would suggest staying somewhere on the East Coast during these months, as it is a long drive out west and a long drive back. Florida weather in August and September can be a roll of the dice, pretty much in the peak of hurricane season.
