Think this is going be great. A mini JC.


Ahh come on, man. Let's roast wieners on the fire and drink beers :)

The locals are going to try and mow the week before and get a fire ring set up on the south end. I hope to pick up a load of wood in the truck and drive it in.

Talked to one of the local ultralight pilots. He spent all day on his personal riding mower getting the grass knocked down for the weekend. Thanks Tom!

Talked with Linda at Lucas Lodge yesterday, she said she has room in the lodge and empty cabins if anyone is interested in staying there instead of dragging all their camping gear out. She said you could also camp beside your airplane on the strip if you wish. Told her, I would keep her posted as to, about how many people might be dropping in for breakfast or lunch.

Thanks for talking to Linda, Little John.

If the weather cooperates, we'll be two adults and two kids for breakfast on Sunday.

I'm heading out tomorrow morning for Idaho with my daughter and should be back on Saturday.

Looking forward to it!

I hope the weather pans out. Thus far it's looking okay. Getting excited.

We'll be down on Friday evening.

I'm scheduled to take my checkride on the 20th, so I can't bring the family (bummer!) but maybe I need a few more hours of solo cross country time...

It'd be fun to stop in for a bit to meet some of you guys.

Organic Pancake Breakfast + Omelets at Illinois Valley Airport on Saturday June 15th. 8AM - 12PM.

Anyone that is camping at Powers Friday might want to head over. I was thinking of "fueling up" prior to my departure.

If anyone needs anything I live about 1 mile away from the Grants Pass (3S8) and would be more than happy to run anyone into town. My hangar is next door to Chief Aircraft so if you need to stop by make sure it is done by Friday at 5.

My cell is 541-218-3185.

Weather is looking pretty good for friday/saturday. Sunday showing slight chance of showers, but a long as ceilings stay high enough, that's no big deal. :)

Re: Powers, OR (6S6) - June 15-16

We are in for Friday, can't wait!

Brent,
Were you able to deliver some fire wood in the pickup or should we plan on bringing some?
I could also bring a small chain saw if it would help?

Re: Powers, OR (6S6) - June 15-16

We're still planning on coming out Saturday morning and doing breakfast on Sunday (two adults and two childeren), however I'll be watching the weather pretty close to see if we need to bug in or out early :? . I won't be hauling wood but I can help cut and gather so we we can cook our dogs!
