I think dem skeeters aren't fond of tequilla or whiskey! Planning on camping Fri night are Mexican Mt and making caveman sat. In the am

Have a great time guys!

Everybody fly safely and take lots of photos and video.

Yeah, i'm bringing the Cub. I would imagine I will draw the slowest poker hand.

What frequency you guys using at Caveman?

Generally, most little strips out here in the west aleast, that don't have unicom are 122.9. Some that have a private strip on there own property may choose to use something different. Any of the strips we will be going to will be 122.9. If you want to talkto your buddies while flying from strip to strip,recommended freq's for plane to plane chatter are 122.75 and 122.85. There are others that are u sed, but you are on your own for those.

On a side note: Rod will have ice and bottled water available at the flyin. I am pretty sure that he has potable water there also, if you have a container that you like to refill.

Thanks for the info on the water & ice Gary!!
WX looks iffy for a Thursday morning breakout..but be damned sure we will leave early Friday morning. There is a guy been stuck here at SNY with a 7GCBC for four days trying to get to Balckfoot ID.

If you have time to spare, go by air. If you are in a hurry drive.

OregonMaule:

Boy ain't that the truth. I left KSTS Sunday morning at 8:00AM to fly to KCNY, for three days of ATV riding with buddies around Moab. Had go to 17,500 over the Sierras to stay VFR on top, dropped back down under the deck and ran into a wall of rain around Tonopah, Nevada. Freezing levels were low and wind was high so I spent a couple of days in lovely Tonopah, then flew back to KSTS this morning. 31 mph gusting to 38 mph when I left Tonopah, but the ride back was pretty nice, just a lot slower.

Didn't get to have fun in Moab, but it was still an adventure. Flying is fun in and of itself. The destination is second place.

Moab got pretty well pounded with rain, hail and lightning on Sunday and Monday. Looks like you guys will have a great weekend though.

We mentioned that to him..looks like the wx is coming here right now..suppose to be really crappy about midnight. Maybe we can sneek out Thursday afternoon. Looks like once we make over the "Hill" to Craig, the going should be better.

once again Maule is loaded and packed. Checked weather and another cold front is expected to move in on Saturday which will F...k up the weekend here which will prevent me from coming home Sunday...Another F...king cold front with rain and IFR weather ... last year it was 40 Knot winds at my fuel stops...will monitor it tomorrow and hope the forecast changes but I GOTTA be back here on SUnday... for work on Monday. Thanks for the phone call Gary... Hope to see you this weekend and if not at one of the planned get togethers later this summer...will monitor weather and hope for a change.. Plan on leaving Thurs Morn for the 6 hr trip...weather permitting.... Butch

Sign me up for a room Friday night and breakfast Saturday. Should I just hand carry the release form signed... at this late date? Or go ahead and mail one?
Thanks for putting this together.

For those of you with Galens map:
Here's a little idea I had, and have been happy with. I took the map to Office depot, had them divide it int 6 sections, then had each of those blown up and laminated. Then I only have to bring out the section for where I am flying. No map to fold/unfold, easier to read, makes good place mats at home.

Probly best to email a copy and bring the original with ya

If anyone needs a free biennial check ride Saturday at Caveman, let me know. Will bring log book stickers in case. Campfire chat can satisfy the one hour ground. Local flight for the rest. Easy and painless.

Hey Gary,
Count me in for breakfast!
