All good advice.and make sure you are high enough to get over the highest terrain. In other words don't try to climb at the last moments to get over a ridge. Especially on the lee side of the mountain. ( read down drafts here).:yes:

You could join us at a later time at Big Creek we will be there for a while . I would like to get out of there no later than 10:30, especially if the weather is warm at all.

Jim, we would want to go as early as possible. I think we will shoot for an eight o'clock Mountain time blast off. So we can get there eat look around and get out of there before it warm up to much. We have some that are concerned with useful load, and Density Altitude.

Jim, are you planning on joining us on the flyouts I was planning to the Minam on the 20th and to Big Creek on the 21st ?

I need to start getting a list of those pilots and others that plan on coming to Vale for my fly-in/fly-out. I need to start making some arrangements so please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks------ Bob.

It seems like you have no trouble believing all of the other sources you are quoting but you don't believe anything the Wright brothers said they did. Funny that way. I believe they flew at Kill devil hill on Dec. 17 1903 and were the first to have controlled flight. Just because they didn't...

Well I hope you come and I don't want to force anyone into going into those strips if they don't feel comfortable doing so. If you make it that will be great. :yes:

If and when we fly into the Minam Lodge for a visit, don't worry about parking. They have Valet parking there.:yes:

I asked around and got mixed answers. I guess the people that bought it a few years back are older and are having some health problems. I talked to some that stayed there recently and the had no complaints. So I don't really know what to tell you.

Tom would you be interested in flying into the Minam and Big Creek while you are here. I would like to do that but don't know if that is something that my guests would want to do?:yes:

I don't really know that much about the B&B here in Vale. It used to be good but it has changed hands in the last few years. So I don't know. I thought we could have a BBQ out in the back yard there as they have a good set up for that. I will do a little detective work in the next few days.

My wife finally would go with me after about 20 years of not wanting to. But did tolerate a few short flights with me. Then we flew to IL. from OR. We got to Custer, SD. and it was about 1:30 PM and that was it for the day. Another day like that and we were in Bloomington, IL. our destination...
