Well, the weather forecast for Thursday morning could not be better for my planned departure to Baja. So south bound with friends I am. Looking forward to a warm and sunny time in Mexico, but have to admit.....I'm bummed that I'm not going to be out exercising the Super Cub and camping with you guys.
Will be looking forward to the next High Sierra get-together.
I will be there.......cooking the Sour Doughs for breakfast and Tri-tip for dinner.

Everyone fly safe and have fun....

Camping gear
Bring some firewood! I will be taking some wood out tomorrow and friday but we can never have enough.
Something to throw on the grill...I will have a bunch of meat...maybe bring a side dish
Pumpkins
Drink

Looking forward to this. Seems like we have a bunch coming now. If your on the fence about it, come!

The famous Red Mooney, Gump, OregonMaul (maybe??) and many others will be there. I hope to see you

Just stopped by bevmo for some of my favorite brews, I'm ready to go now! Who will be there friday night? We will probably head over sometime on friday if others will be there too.

Kevin - Sorry I was vague, I meant to imply exactly that about 124.20--the closest official use is far away.

Watching the wx up north. maybe............................................I have a family event that I must be at Friday night. So Saturday noon is as early as I might make it.

Rob it would be great to have you along! I'll be there sat afternoon as well so I hope to see ya!

The thesis can wait till Sunday! Get those tires on and get over there on Saturday! This is pretty much the last large Fly-In Camp for the year AND Kevin made T-Shirts! You wouldn't want to miss out on that!

Dang it, it's not looking good for us either - I'm still holding out hope, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow.

Well shoot Allen - I was just watching your youtube vid's last night.

Please someone takes lots of photos and videos for a poor grounded pilot in the SEUS...

The desert is dry as a bone and in full color! Just landed and will post photos when I get home. Saw around 300 wild horses. It's really beautiful out the now. You could land on the lake bed with any size tires. It like concrete.

T-shirts look really good! I even have some hats...We need firewood! Making a few trips out tomorrow.

Game on! Weather Fx says wind 5 or less! Kinda freaking out here. It's going to be beautiful!

Jeremy you have to come! Same goes for you Rob! I bring you a bottle of your favorite fire water!

Wish I could go but duty calls again.

Not in the cards Kevin, too much shit happens down here You guys have fun up there don't break anything

What name do you guys use to call this place so I can announce myself on the freq when I am inbound for safety?

3 shot gun shells!

Awesome! Just changed the oil in the 170 and she's ready to go. Now I just have to decide what time we're leaving tomorrow. Rob and Jeremy... quit making excuses and make it happen! You too, Allen!

Looks like we have at least 10-15 planes still coming. I will be there around 10am or so on Saturday to stay. If not there I will be flying the area on the Freq...124.20

The desert is all time now. Seriously...

Here are some pics from today and some Hats and T-shirts...I was a biased by the plane of course and asked Zane if I could put
these T's on here as there is no BCP on it. Just my blog site. I have a bunch of these if someone would like one. After all, we are all Big Tire Pilots...and the Ohio guys couldnt have there own logo wear without the west coast representation...




You can see the one I have been wearing...(desert dust on the brim)


Approach to the lake bed straight ahead


Gold mine is on the right, 2 miles from lake bed straight ahead...one of my favorite place to land


Approach over the trees (bottom left of lake bed) and land


Looking at your approach. You can almost see a road coming into the lake bed itself. Camp is by the trees with planes parking on the far left of lake bed

looking west (I put a bunch of rocks out for the new folks inbound)


Looking east - Notice the little dirt hill I put rocks on...they are also on the lake bed. If you land elsewhere on the bed DO A FLY BY AND KNOW YOUR SPOT!!! These little guys will ruin your day


Makings of a white mans fire for Saturday


Hard as a rock


"High Boy Ridge" is at the cloud base in the distance


Looking forward to it.

If you want a T shirt or Hat, send me a PM. $24 includes shipping. All sizes...XXXl - Sm
