Well, my plan did not work out. I am still in Watertown. The sky was clear but the clogged up arrivals were a problem. I flew to Ripon but was in a gaggle that was told to start all over again. They were asking for 1-2 mile spacing and keep turning traffic away all day. I waited till 6:30 pm before going in but the traffic was still flooded around Green and Rush lakes. They have major problems getting the traffic jam managed this year. I will try again 1st thing in the morning. I am sure I will get in, just not sure when.
