All,
A few of us pilots at Wray, CO (2v5) were thinking about hosting a fly-in on the second to last weekend in October. We don't have many scenic views, but we do have a nice pavement and gravel runway with lots of open space around the airport. There is a rifle/pistol range, trap range, and golf course all within walking distance of the airport. Also since it is close to Halloween, it would be neat to have some sort of a Halloween activity. Maybe a pumpkin drop. Also we might do a breakfast and possibly a nice supper. (possibly as good as prime rib.)

Anyways, since we have never hosted one here, we wanted to see what kind of interest there would be and open it up for activity ideas. We would like to keep it pretty relaxed. After all, that is why we fly, to get away from the stresses and worries of the world.

So give me an idea if you are interested and any ideas for easy, fun activities.

Too far for me to come at this time.

Just reminded me of the best honey I ever ate. An older gentleman would show up in a white van, in West Texas every year, and sell me about 10 pounds

I always thought it was his bees.

Anyway, sorry for the creep.

I'd be in!

Less than a 4hr drive so unless wx is bad I can probably drive in.

I could go if weather permits. 3 extra seats.

Let me know if your interested in some fly out stuff. Our flat land is great for honing your STOL skills, so give me some good training scenarios and I'll find a cool spot to practice. We will get permission to camp on the field, or we've got a b and b in town if your SO doesn't want to camp.

I wouldn't mind grabbing a seat if you could swing into KFLY to pick me up maybe. Where are you at again, driving there to where you are might not be much shorter than just driving to Wray.

The guy with the bees used to go to my church!! Sadly he quit raising bees awhile ago.

klmo....probably a bit far to dip down to KFLY.

That's right. LMO is about half the drive to Wray though.

Sure wish I could go, but I won't be doing much flying until next summer cause I'm off at college now. I must say, I'm loving SLO, and Cal Poly is awesome! But it is weird not having a plane to fly...

There we go then!

Should of done it on the week end of the Kitzmiller Bar b que. Could of flown in for dinner

There are lots of sights around the area.

not sure how to get these to post as photos. Tried to use the image button and get a message that the size was not specified.

Click on the link, right mouse click over the image and choose "copy image location" - quote my post below and you can see. You basically need a full link to the image jpg/gif or whatever. It's in the FAQ:

Great picture Bill!



I'd love to make it, I just need to work out the details (work/travel).

I think it's a great idea. A balloon pop would be fun too. Will there be a breakfast (or BYOB)?

Nothing like a stop at three corners





Or the grave sight of the great unknown buffalo hunter



A trip thru the Arikaree Breaks

Nice.
