Cheers,

Dave and Janie

When we were there in October, the folks told us that John and Diana had confirmed that they will be coming back this month (December). And, Victor was there doing the cooking. So, I'm expecting an equally good trip....but likely with more folks. I'm really glad that you and Janie plan to join us!

Last year we had to do family stuff.
We will come on out this time, WX permiting.

Last year, we had no airplane. This year, we grabbed a room at the house. I was told there were 2, so must be 1 left. Hope the weather cooperates, or we're out our deposit.

I just received the current issue of Pilot Getaways and they have a informative article on Big Bend State Park in it.

My son and I did the photo shoot for Pilot Getaways in the Super Cub! As you might imagine, we're doubly eager to see the new issue.

For those that may not know, a lot of upgrades are underway at BBRSP: new campsites and trails under construction, etc. The word is the Governor wants to see a dramatic increase in park attendance. I'll talk to the park personnel about getting a sweeper out there and knock the gravel off that runway.

This year we have a brand new hangar in Presidio! We went from no airplanes based at T77 to three on the same day the new paving, painting, and lights were completed. Y'all plan to stop in and say "Hey!" For sure we'll be able to help with unleaded fuel, and I'm optimistic we may even have avgas by February.

I sure hope they have the sweeper working this year. Where are the best places for fuel out there from the east? Has anyone tried 6R6 (Terrell Co) for fuel? I see that Paul stopped in Alpine last year.
