I'm hoping to hit Alpine for fuel about noon, but hey, it's a vacation, so who needs to be that precise - maybe I'll be five minutes early or late - really let my hair down!

We will also be stopping in Alpine for fuel--probably between 11 and 1pm. We will probably use the courtesy car and get some lunch in Alpine before going on to BBRSP. If anyone else wants to make the lunch run let me know---we will wait.

BTW Paul, do you remember seeing any tie down anchors along the BBRSP runway when you did your "recon" trip??? I have straps and chocks only.

See ya'll on Friday!!!

Cheers,

Dave B./Janie B.

I didn't get an accurate count last weekend, but there are rings in concrete for at least ten airplanes. No chains or ropes on site. It might still be a good idea to bring anchors because there may be more airplanes than anchors.

ALL - Feel free to contact me if you need help with last-minute arrangements.

Are any of you going to be at the Presidio, TX airport on Sat Feb.17? I will be in Presidio that day & would like to stop by & visit. Always like looking at cool planes. Hope it is warmer there than SW Kansas is, it made it to a balmy 14 degrees with snow Love that country, the view from air should be great.

Will need to see what my schedual is. Will be driving into Presidio on Friday night from Sublette, KS. Will be in that area for a week on a Church mission trip, but Sat. is a relax day, but still may need to do a few things to get ready for Sun-Fri on Ojinaga,MX. Plan to wander by the airport in & see whats up in spare time.

Good point!

Here's my airplane count so far:
DFW Area: Jellybean, Flash, Scorch, Covey 534 (ACT area)
HOU Area: Ironflight, Jon Baker
AZ: Tom and Katie
Home Base Unknown: Tom N, Dave B

We have 9 right there and there are likely others who are coming, so please bring anchors if you have them.

Default Big Bend Bound

My wife and I are currently in Alpine on our winter traveling in the ground bound RV (5th Wheel trailer varity). We are planning on being in Study Butte until about Sunday night and staying somewhere inside Big Bend National Park after that. We are going to drive from Study Butte to Presidio on Friday or Saturday and will be in the National Park after that. We don't plan on getting to the State Park but I'll keep my eyes open to see if I see a group that looks like RVator type.
