Re: Minam Lodge runway under water.....Still

Ran into a guy in a 182 at Lagrande yesterday who said he had just escaped Red's I think... said it was a bit of a sippy hole too. Sounds like Minam is worse. I wanted to stop in there yesterday in the Cub but I guess it's for the best that we hightailed it home.

Zane,
Did the 182 guy have a cat with him? We camped at Reds two years ago and a farmer came up for the night in a straight tail 182 from LaGrande with his dog and a kitten. Was a pretty funny sight to see this guy sitting around the campfire, playing his guitar with the cat curled up in his lap! I think he was about our age and I have wondered if I would run into him again.
