Is there any reason you are picking last weekend.

From my viewpoints there were very few VFR flying opportunities over the entire weekend.

I was on instructor duty on Saturday, but the forecast improvement to marginal VFR conditions (6K vis 1000' ceiling) never arrived.
Sunday was also low cloud, poor vis and a howling cross-wind, so I got some overdue gardening done.

A look at the Metar records would probably identify if there were any worthwhile periods or places for VFR flying.

Typically very little goes on without 8-10k vis, 2000' ceiling and winds below 20 knots.

If you'd picked the previous weekend, you would likely have found a lot of activity.
