Good, you can brew the beer this year  :)

I plan on it!  :aok

Getting something together right now. :)

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

If it takes full power to taxi to the hanger, your gear is probably up.

I thought they rocked.  :rock

I think my biggest gripe of the Dayton gatherings is Ski Patrol...

Seriously... I like meeting new people but I didn't drive to Dayton to hang out with non-AH flying locals. It seems like most of the people the campground owner new personally. I understand that it's his property and he is going to invite who he wants, but I think it was a little out of hand last year. It was obvious they did not want to mingle with us cartoon pilots, at one point on Saturday a car load of high school kids cruised through, by evening time my tent was surrounded by Ski Patrol... Did they pay for the party too like we did?

I still had a great time, but you know me... I'm more paranoid than this avatard >>>  :noid

Not sure who your talking about, I had a few friends there and my son had a few. Couldn't have been more than 6-7 peeps and yes they paid like everyone else.
If Chris knew em, they might have been his teen daughters friends, Not sure.
You may have to point them out to me this year if you see em.
You also need to remember that Chris is running a Canoe Livery there and will have customers all weekend.

Well there was young couple behind my tent, and someone showed up with a trailer that I think had a 4 wheeler in it, they were right next to my tent. They packed up and left the next morning before we did.

Don't get me wrong, I had a blast. I just noticed way more strangers in 2010 than 2009.

as long as you didn't hear banjo music, you were safe, and as for 2010 your right, I made it and don't know too many stranger than I. Still wish I could be there this year but after a second stroke the Dr said no travel for about a year, which is good since I'm on a cane just to get around now, not sure how that would work out after a few boots of Beer might have to be carried around. For those who dont remember here is a reminder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Zaxdcb2O4 So please send me plenty of pics . And I will return with a vengeance in 2012 thats a promise. And will bring my DrDig1 bag again too.

yup, tent, bed, fridge, transportation

This new job will enable me to get to things such as this around the country.  If theres room for me (even just the truck if need be) Id seriously consider putting in for a couple days off in dayton.

thx HB

I don't think you would make it down the hill with trailer attached, but if you did, the band could just set up in the trailer.  How cool would that be! 

But, there should be room for you to park it up be the house.  Might have to have SHawk check with Chris though.
