A few of us camped out last weekend up at Bennett's Creek (0NY0) in the Adirondack Region of New York. Had three stay over on a cold Friday night waking up to frost covered tents (and everything for that matter) and had a fourth join us for Saturday night (equally chilly). Had another four aircraft come in for the day on Saturday as well.
Great hospitality by local resident Pete Burns (on here) and a couple of airport tenants as well, with a hangar tour of some immaculate birds and a nice big fire to take the edge off of Saturday night's chill. Will be back for sure in the spring, and hope to get even more planes and folks in next time. Maybe even some live music.
