The Air Races are the following weekend and I'm planning to do those, too. Probably camp at Dead Cow Sat and go to the races Sunday.

I'm in Tucson now, flying home to Elko early morning tomorrow. Will set plans for next weekend after I get back and talk to the others who are going. Will update as soon as we know our destination. It's sorta like trying to herd cats at moment.

Re: Backup Plan Recomendations for Sept Trip

Well, I can't believe it. I'm not going to make it this weekend to any hopped for destinations. A bad roof, work, and just live things have got in the way. Geopilot is the only one from our group of local pilots who may escape this weekend. Last we talked, he was planning on Gravelly Valley for the work party.

I want to thank everyone for their input. I hope to make it to those destinations before too long. Every suggestion was a great one.

Yes, but just think, you and a couple of friends can stay looped for a week or better off of those! Somehow, I think you'll manage a way through emptying those with out much problem. Just put a free beer sign out front.
