Well RVaitors- now is your chance to enjoy a day or two on the Lake-
Lake Powell, Utah that is!

moderate weather to make an over nighter in a very beautiful area: the "Grand Stair Case"

Why: Talk RV's and- looks to be the final good weekend before Old Man winter!

Hi Brad,

The CT crowd was just at PGA and has a great time. My wife looked at this photo of the FlightDesign invasion and termed it "Army of Cuteness"

Maybe it should be,
We have a kinda annual fly-in with our 182-Flagstaff group.
I was thinking this weekend would be great but probably too short a notice. Maybe too close to LOE and Copperstate?
I don't know

Default DOH!

Brad,

This sounds like a whole lot of fun, but when I asked the accountant the other night, she said not bloody likely. We have a big trip planned Thanksgiving week to CO (potentially expensive if there is enough snow to ski) so we've got to keep a lid on it right now.

Sure would like to houseboat on Powell one of these days, though. Been living in AZ for almost twenty years now, and as yet have only been able to fly over Lake Powell. I'll bet viewing the stars would be magnificent while laying in a sleeping bag on the top deck of a house boat.

We'd definitely be interested again sometime when the timing is better.

Thanks a bunch for the offer.
