Everything at Afton is within easy walking distance. :) As I recall, the nearest cafe to the airport is the one run by the Gardner family (Rulon Gardner--Olympic wrestler). Really superb burgers when I was there on a Tour de Wyoming bike ride several years ago. It's at the south end of town.

Click 123.8 to open thegate on the n end. Taxi east and park in the grass. The good resturant is now a 3 min walk to the south, no car neede6d, real close. Bon apetit!

OK- this was a great suggestion. Just got back and wonderful flight and excellent food. Not good! Parked next to two new Huskies just outside of the Aviat factory waiting to be delivered to new customers. WOW- that really gets a guy thinking....... Anyone have a spare $350k ?? [-o<

DBI, I couldn't make it today, but I'm less than an hour from Afton by air.

Let me know next time you get the itch to go to Afton, and maybe we could organize a mini-BCP breakfast fly-in. Me and another BCP guy from here, Ben from Jackson, Courierguy, etc., etc.
