LET'S PARTY!!!!
Looks like the IAA is starting the 2008 work party season with Big Bar in Hell's Canyon this coming Friday 3/21/08.
I believe the working won't start until Saturday but some are flying up on Friday to camp and pre-party party.

Sounds like a good time. I'd hitch a ride in with someone if was wasn't already committed to something else...the rivers are on the rise and my wife wants to go kayaking.

Looks like the weather may brake here, I will see what we can do!!

Hello

Not Familiar with Big Bar, can someone fill me in? Why no identifier? Whats the field like?

It snowed two feet here Sunday and I spent all day Monday plowing and blowing the damn stuff. No bush flying for me yet.

You guys have fun!!!

I'm going to try and sneak in there tomorrow if the weather allows, but should be able to make it on Saturday as the forcasters are calling for that break that Wup referred to.

Georgie, does this mean we will be seeing you there??!!? Was in to Big Bar on Friday and the strip was nice and dry. If you haven't been there before, be aware that the upstream / south end of the strip is canted toward the river. Stay on the narrow double track. If you stray from the path, there are plenty of boulders in the grass. I think we will be painting several of them with bright colors, at the work party. (My kids called dibs on that job - we'll see how much ends up on the rocks).
Will be my first flight out with the new sneakers, so have to see how many bounce marks there are in the dirt.
Whee, did you get that BFR done yet? I hear there's a new tailwheel CFI in the area.
Hope to see you all there.

Hey guys if we don't get the weather to clear (to fly in) we will be at Dug Bar (driveing in) for the weekend camping for Easter so stop by and say howdy!!

Not yet, next week is spring break so I'll either go to IF and get it done or have the plane brought here. I haven't been able to get a hold of Chuck yet so I'm still lookin for a CFI on this side of the state...so tell me about this new guy...

Got into Big Bar this morning and the strip is great shape. That's a first class sock there also...hats off to you all that put that up....Hope to see you on Saturday....

I would love to come and help some, but I am in the middle of my annual on 9054N. I ran into some problems and it is going to take a little longer than I hoped. So I am going to have to beg off. Bob

Is that helicopter a public helicopter? and if it is can you carry a firearm????
