Hey Pat...I'm legal to drive anything but a school bus (have my Hazemat)...if someone wants to buy me a plane ticket there I could drive the truck....Oh, but on the other hand, I couldn't make it anyway...never mind. :cry:

Our weekend plans changed and we are now thinking of making a day trip out of it. Are the hot springs you've mentioned the site of the famous "lady in the hot tub" video?

Joe, if the truck is not going to be there, where is the nearest source of airplane fuel headed south or southwest, and do you know the price?

Check Lovelock. Sometimes Lovelock is way cheap.

According to Airnav.com as of today, Winnemucca is $4.52 :-k . Lovelock is $4.07 :wink: . Yerrington is $4.00 =D> . And Tonopah is $4.80 :shock: .

Oh yeah.......I'm not going to make the trip down there this year :cry:

Back home. Great fly in. Thanks to all who made it happen. Especially Joe and Joe Jr.

Two white and red Maules on the lake bed. Two pilots named Rob. Huh, that's kinda weird.

Me 3. Thanks to Pops and all his friends for their hard work and big smiles, and great food. =D> =D>
This gets better every year. I'm thinkin Ausum in Austin. The music duo did a great job 2.
Fun to see old friends and make new ones.


Good trip back. Stopped at Caveman on the way back and talked to Rod. Will more on that later on a diferent thread
