Yes, Ravioli County is it's own special sort of cultural petri dish. The local papers read like the Onion- and that's when they are just reporting the facts.
It's a great place to base out of on my trips up there, though. Good friends. Great FBO. Good gas prices. Nice cafe on field- better than the one in town. Friendly staff. 20 mins from Shearer or Fish Lake if you want to wet a line in the afternoon. I did once have 36 gallons disappear between when I sticked the tanks at 10PM and when I arrived for departure at 6am, though. I mean I was left trying to figure out how both bladders were practically *dry*- whoever did it was a pro. I leave my tanks dry there now. I just wish it hadn't been $5.50/gal gas. I'm no moneybags- quite a bit of net pay just went *poof* faster than bad news at an annual.
But the folks at the flight school do a great business there. I'm sure they'll be fine after all of this.
