Caveman Spring Flyin 2011 May 13-15

I am putting together the Caveman Spring Flyin, I have the weekend of May 13-15 scheduled, and the following weekend reserved as an alternative if the first one gets weathered out, or if we are havin so much fun we need a second weekend. As before, anyone is welcome to show up earlier, and stay as long as you want.

Tenting will be $20/Night, cave rooms are $30/night and basically unimproved. They are a big room with a door, offering protection from weather, convicts, and wild animals.

Rod and Paula aren't going to do a dinner this year, so everyone is on their own for that. If ya wanna do a pot luck one night, that's fine. There are some places w/in 1/2 hr flight to get meals. or do your own cookin.

I'll do pancakes/sausage/juice breakfasts($8) if anyone is interested.

Rod has a skeet launcher and pigeons if anyone is interested in having a skeet shooting contest.
Probably do the spot landing again if there is any interest. And open to any other fun ideas.

We had a pretty good time with this last year. If you are new here and unfamiliar with it, you can do a search for pictures and stories from last years.

Full moon is the 17th, this is as close as I could get.

I don't know Nate, his wife could probably take you (and me for that matter). Blu, you may just want to do what she says. :wink:

If weather lets me leave home this time I'll take you up on a cup of home roasted coffee.

Last fall I was packed and sitting by the door for 2 days before I gave up :( . Hope to make this one.
Got my release all filled out from the fall. mmmmm! where did I file it. Might have to print another.
