Re: Tom Weiss Labor Day Fly-In Sept 7 @ 5S1

If your not far away, it would be nice if you came as a show of support to Tom's family. I would like to think we don't just forget our BCP brothers when they go west.

This should be a good time to kick back a trade some stories too. Depending on weather I might show up and camp Sunday night.

Cheers...Rob

Hoping to make this. The smoke will be my deciding factor for me.

Hope to see others attend for certain!

Then I might see you.

If my wife doesn't have a melt down......

I'm planning on camping at powers tonight and then spending a good part of the day at Felts. After I say hi to everyone I will then work my way home or Pacific City.

The wife didn't melt down so I am free. Anyone else want to meet later afternoon or evening. Drinks and dinner in Powers comes to mind.

Tom Weiss Labor Day Fly-In Sept 7 @ 5S1

Sitting here in IFR conditions. I think it will clear up in the next hour and me and my boy I can get headed south. Looks like it's just going to be me my son and the friendly people at Powers, everybody seems to be having life experiences which precludes camping at Powers.Image

Powers is in the Sun
