I just put this on my calendar...a good stop on the way back from DV on the way to Caveman.

Sounds like fun!

Sourdough making the music for one of our own...

Hey Gump, do you fly into Eureka for Slim?

That rainy Sunday of the Austin Fly In three years ago my wife and I tried to get home, but only made it as far as Eureka. The weather was crap to the North. So the lady that lives at the airport gave us a ride to town for a motel and picked us up the next morning. It seemed like a pain for her, but she was nice about it.

Can you just show up and get tickets? We could only come if we fly, so a ride to town could be a problem.

Fly or drive. One of us will come get you at the airport. And tickets at the door are never a problem.

Gump

We wander that way fairly frequently, and have never seen the seating at a venue over maybe 1/3 full. It's about as laid back as it gets to see a show. Great folks, no crowds at all, and you just walk out the door and down the street a door or two to hit the waterhole after.

We're planning on flying for this year's Sourdough show, but friends from Smokey Valley are driving up, and their rig will be available as an airport shuttle.

Gump

Weather permitting we will be there.

Yup, an I'll probably drive over to haul some peeples too. We were there last weekend for Lacy J. an she was awesome.

So Ernie if Caveman is May 4,5,6 How about Death Valley 7,8,9. You a golfer? Death Valley has a golf course. Maybe the Chicken Strip and Kern Valley. Then Eureka for Sourdough Slim then home. What do you think?

G'Day

I do take a wack at a ball now and then, never tried it below sea level. PLEASE pray for some good, non windy wx so I can make it over the mountains. Sounds like fun.

Just a head's up for anyone planning on flying to Eureka from the west on the 11th....

President Obama is going to be in Reno all day Friday, the 11th... So guess what, all our f**king airspace will be shut down. I may play musical airplanes Thursday evening/night, or I may just say f**k it and drive.

Im driving over and will be at the airport at 5 if anyone needs a ride into town. That will give time to get some Chinese food before... Show starts at 7:00.

Mothers day weekend, you know what that means.

I really want to fly down to see Sour Dough Slim with you Nevada guys. I know the wife has other plans for me.

It is good that my wife and I both still have our moms, we will spend time with them both on Sunday.

Now if the wife tells me she is busy Friday and Saturday. That's a long shot. ha ha

G'Day

We'll be at the airfield in the afternoon with our thumbs out (2 adults and a lab).
