Hey Lazflyn,

Please give us a trip report when you are done. We are getting ready to gear up for some flying down south (read as time to get out of the cold and remember what 50 degrees feels like). I'd like to get a few trips in down south before the strips up north open up.

Someone mentioned that Tuweep is closed. What's the story on that?

I'll second that request for a trip report, lazy.

Decided I'd better share this list with everyone.

This is from Bruce Lenon Nation Park service pilot who patrols area in 206.

So, how about that trip report? Did you go??

Good information, Bill. One of you SW flyers should update Shortfield.com with the status information, and possibly more if you visit those strips.
