Nephi.. Got it... An 2 for all the meals an tour.. Were headed east on Thursday. We'll monitor 122.75.

Still have a cave available if anyone wants it

Rob, Phil, Allan Gotcha covered, thanks for the heads up.

Dinner cost is a donation. I have suggested $25-30/plate, but it is up tp you. I know they put a lot of effort into it. Rod had even been readin books to see how to do the perfect Hawaiin pit roast, built a pit, and bought a couple big pigs. No smart remarks

If parking starts to get conjested we can probly recruit, some help. Just be patient, do a couple laps around the area if you need to. Talk on the radio to let others know where ya are, but keep it shortn and listen. 122.9

Tom, I posted a tentative list a little ways back. probly be pretty close to that. Maybe make the final decision Fri. Am. and you can probly help put the cards out if ya like.

Leaving S. Ca on Thursday around Noon, Should be in by around 6pm. See you all there.

I'll have to check into 122.75 every once in a while! I'll probably be on one of them flight following thingy mabobs up there laying contrails at 17,000ft! haha I leave thurs Morning, so I'll look down for ya Pops! So the word is, listen to 122.75 enroute (to talk professionally of course haha) and change to 122.9 when getting close to Caveman!

Gary, 2 for lunch at Rockland and a bowl of kibble, am going to try and leave Thursday PM.

Gary,
I will take that last cave for Friday night if it is still available.

Thanks,
Steve

Looks like we will be driving in from canyonlands. Does anyone have directions that can get us there? Like go down that highway, turn on the road with red rocks on it, make a left at the sage bush, then next right...? Anything will do I just don't want trespass anywhere.

World famous star of backcountry flying and TV screen has the cave that was available.
Gary
I was referring to Allen,but i guess you are both pretty famous In one way or another

At least it went to someone worthy of it...

Nose draggers can probably land there, rather than at Canyonlands?

I'm not worthy... Just grateful Gary! Wife and kid are fired up! Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We will be there Friday early afternoon!

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!!!!! right Tom!

I was pretty fast on the trigger for caves!

I have definitely thought about it. You think they will notice the dust on the tires when I get back.

Rain shores...dirt taxiway, dirt parking lol

Here is a vertical shot of Caveman Ranch. It was shot in 2010, but it's pretty much the same layout. I marked some of the important features. Maybe Gary can let everyone know where to park from this shot? Or at the least you can get an idea of the layout before you fly in. Usually planes park along the runway, both sides starting near the lodge and also behind the lodge there is a spot for 10 or so planes as well near the green in the picture.

Looks like I'm officially in- flying out friday midday and will be at Mack. Gary count me in for 2 bfasts, and the dinner.

Look forward to seeing everyone!

It will be long gone an hour afer you leave. A quick fuel stop at a paved strip should remove any remaining evidence of your "precautionary landing" at caveman. Seems a lot of oil temp lights come on while passing over caveman.

Damn!! Sure hate to miss the fun.
