Please plan on joining us for the 2016 Fall la Garita Creek Ranch fly-in September 23-25 (Fri-Sun).

This family friendly fly-in will include fly-outs to many wonderful Southern Colorado locations including Hooper/Sand Dunes Pool, Morning Shadows, Quarter Circle Circle, Creede, Saguache, Telluride, and more. A cook will be present throughout the entire weekend to provide breakfast, lunch and the chuck wagon dinner (wonderful food at reasonable prices!). Kids, pets (well behaved), and anyone with a love for aviation is welcome!

Please visit http://www.FlyColorado.org for the registration, waiver, airstrip information and cabin rentals/tent camping.

It was great to see everyone there supporting LGCR in the spring and we hope even more of you plan on attending this fall!

For questions or comments, please email [email protected].

Can't make this one. You kids have fun and fly safe!

Had a blast last time, hoping to attend again!!

Bummer, that is the weekend that the Utah BCP are having their annual event in Huntington (69V). Those guys did a great job over there last fall, it would be a shame to miss it this year.

But La Garita and crew are something special as well.

So many choices....so little time. Perhaps the weather will play a part in the final destination decision. We'll see.

Now that it's Sept, I'm going to bump this thread.

It looks like I'll have to miss it. Airplane's good, but the FAA pulled my SI--seems my blood is either too thick or too thin--and it's unlikely I'll get it back by then. Darn!

For those who haven't been to La Garita, it's a pretty easy strip for those with high elevation, mountain experience, and a beautiful location on the west side of the San Luis Valley. The managers of the ranch are delightful people, as well. The only downside has been that the wind can kick up at times, fairly typical for the San Luis Valley.

So have fun, folks!

Just sent in my registration.... looking forward to this Will be my second trip

I think Neil, Greg, and I are all coming. Maybe round up one or two more outta Wray if we are lucky.

Sounds great Cody, the more Wray folks the better!

It should be a great weekend to get some mountain flying in. Weather is looking good (as of today), colors should be at or near peak, and we already have a great group of folks registered. We even have a few open cabins left to reserve

I have a cabin next to the main lodge reserved, it has two queen beds if anyone wants to share half of the expenses.

Checked out the strip as well as Morning Shadows this past Sunday. Both in great shape.
I have asked the Rio Grande County Commissioners about dropping the price of 100LL at the Del Norte Airport (KRCV) for the weekend. Should know by Wednesday. Going to be a great weekend, the aspen above Creede are amazing right now, lots of red this fall.

I'm sorry I'm going to miss this one. I'll be busy trying to get to El Salvador and Costa Rica in the rainy season dodging an erupting volcano in Guatemala. If it wasn't for that, I would be there for sure!

Bummed to hear that Paul, take care down there!! That's quite a trip you guys are doing

Thanks for the update!!

Heading down tomorrow, not sure what time.. may end up coming down in the afternoon/evening.

See you all there

I'm bringing my camera! Are the colors going to be at there peak?

Bummer all packed and ready to go but the winds are not favorable. Hopefully will make it ?Saturday morning in time for breakfast at Morning Shadows.

Arne

Yea

It's blowing like crazy right now .... gusting 35 here... alamosa is seeing some nasty wind as well... im hoping maybe this evening, but the TAFs aren't really playing along with that idea

Just got back from a drive to Lake City. Snowing all the way over, sunny the way back. The colors are absolutely stunning. High country covered in snow (snow line about the elevation of Creede, actually). Aspen at their peak. Incredible!!!
Early arrivals are going to have quite the views.
Sorry, never did hear back from the Commisioners on a fuel price break.
Lee is going to start cooking around eight at Morning Shadows, but realizes that people will trickle in all morning since nobody got here today.
Tom

I knew it was REALLY windy when my dad called and said he turned around. Hopefully you'll see him, my Bro in law, and my nephew today in MY airplane. If you see him abusing it, let me know.

I had a great time and it was great to see old and new faces. I could only run over for a mid day trip, so sorry if I wasn't able to say hi.
