Add this grass strip to your resume
Weather permitting, stop in next Saturday afternoon May 25 for a cold drink and some RV talk. Cedar Meadows Airpark is not on the sectional, but is a couple miles west of Summit Point, WV, just a few miles SE of Martinsburg, WV. RW 9/27 is on the south side of the railroad tracks and has (for identification purposes only) an intersecting N/S runway on the north side of the tracks. The turf runway is 3000 by 100 and reasonably smooth. We monitor 122.85 My new hanger is being constructed and should be occupied by my RV4 by the end of May. You can park by the white hangar on the west end of the runway.

Near Highview
If you departed Cedar Meadows on RW27, and made a left turnout after about 1/2 mile, you would be looking down the south runway at Highview. Check out Google Earth. Cedar Meadows is clearly visible (still a dirt strip at the time of the picture) and parallels the railroad tracks to the south.
RW 27 is slightly downhill, and has cedar trees on the approach end. Be very alert to the possibility of crossing traffic from the N/S runway on the north side of the tracks. Movements on these two runways are somewhat rare, but demand CTAF calls on departure, and a good scrutiny when approaching.
Looking forward to a great day with lots of airplanes.

Google Maps shows the runway at approximately 39.243, -77.99 but this might be a good pilotage exercise ! |

"Drinks will be cold"
As with any project, delays creep in. However that will not prevent a fly-in, cold drinks, food, camping, bonfires, etc.
Weather looks like it could be perfect. Camp overnight if you wish (bring your own tent.)
My construction crew will be working on the project all day. Bar will be open at about five for those not flying or camping.

Coordinates
For those like me who love GPS, here are the general coordinates: N39 14.6' W77 59.5' . Summit Point Raceway is almost walking distance East of the field so for those using pilotage, you have a beautiful landmark. I plan on being there and will probably have some others tagging along with me from Dragon Flight.

SMracer, Saturday is starting to look like a bust, weather wise. High winds everywhere and rain in some areas. Sunday looks to be relative calm with some sun. Any thoughts on moving it to Sunday?
