Robert "Bub" Wright, aka Skylane, passed away in November of 2011. He was a beloved community member and will be missed.

ya it will be on the 20th weater depending, I will pot the frist L&L the when you get there there will be a sealed envelope with a card and the destination to the next strip. as for a two day deal if most people want to camp out the day of the run, we will hold it on the 19th and camp out at the final destination.

Questions

Hi Jeff, turns out the 20th is the day we drive home from the annual fireman's dirt bike trip to the Boise, Id. area.

My plan is to fly the M7 to EUL on Wednesday the 16th. Ride dirt toys 17-19th.

I have 3 questions.

1] Is Caldwell the best spot to leave the M7? Nampa or Bosie are my other close locations. Some of the guys are staying in Caldwell and some in Boise.

2] What time do you think we will meet on the 20th?

3] Is there going to be an informal gathering the 19th?

Weather permitting, I'll be there. Look forward to putting some more faces with names.

I'll leave you with this thought. I am terrible with names. If we stuck a hunk of duct tape on us with our screen name and real name it would help.

Cheers...Rob

I can make it on the 20th but our search and rescue has a practice session scheduled on the 19th. I could come on the 20th I just would miss out on the first day if you move it ahead one day. Bob

Living as far south as a person can get, and being fairly busy at work has kept me away from most of these activities. Looks like I will be spending my summer in NV (mostly northern) Not super familiar with that area, so I will be looking a few of you fellows up for suggestions and good flying.
Take care, Rob

Hi Rob,

I wouldn't get too excited about next weekend, looks like we still have some winter left. Probably will be cloudy and showery with lows in the 20's and 30's and highs in the 40's....and that's in the DESERT! But, they've been wrong before :wink:

It's very unlikely it will be as nice as this weekend...it was 78 down near C.J. Strike reservoir...got the first bass of the season.

I've no idea where Scouter is.


Cheers,

Rocky

Bob, hi. If the weather permits I'll bring the M7. we can meet for breakfast before I go dirt riding. I'll be at Caldwell.

If you want to hang for a while you could fly to Emmit. I'll come get you. We are riding 10 min from the AP. We have extra quads and dirt bikes.

PM me you mobile #

Cheers Rob
