Vlad, when did you visit Moontown? Looks like you were there recently given the fall colors. Sorry we missed meeting you. We were probably in our hangar working on the -12. Hopefully another time. Your posts inspire us for adventures!
I believe there is a large contingent of RV's over in Decatur at Pryor Field around the corner from Moontown. Did some transition training there when Dan was still flying his 9A. Vlad is our flying ambassador for sure. If I only get to fly a quarter of what he does I will be happy. Moontown is on my bucket list.
Vlad,
How have you found your new strips? Or, how do you decide to visit some place you haven't been before.
Do you pick randomly,,,,or talk to someone about a new destination?
Vlad,
When were you at Roy E Ray (5R7) ? I live on the airport and would liked to have met you. If you get back this way let me know you are coming. I'll take you to get some awesome seafood rather than hotdogs. I also have hangar room and an apartment if you need somewhere to stay.

Yes, there are several RV's based at Pryor Field, just 25 miles west of Moontown. Dan (the CFII and RV9A builder/pilot) and I used to share a hangar.
Vlad, let us know next time and I'm sure several members of the TVRVBG would like to meet you.
Vlad, you are always welcome to stop by WI69.

<SNIP>Don it was a deviation from the plan otherwise I would notify. I know where you live <SNIP>

Once seeing your photos Vlad, I realized you were talking about the sand mines (US Silica)and I was talking about the Castle. So to put our confusion at ease, above is a link for the Castle.
Phew....I feel better now! Ha!
Next stop should be 2E8. Also a grass strip. If you make it, let me know and I'll buy lunch.
Vlad,Thanks Rich. I am actually planning Harsens Island Z92 on Saturday. Cackleberry looks like a nice spot to visit in the future.

Vlad-
You forgot the instructions. Breakfast at Hancock is on SUNDAY. Not a grass strip but breakfast on Monday at Penn Yan NY. Possibly the oldest breakfast fly-in in the US.
Instructions? Where are they Jim? I don't have a google installed in my computer. I was at Hancock on Sun May 22nd and didn't smell any food.
I did not realize what a stud you are, Vlad. Anyone who can find their navel anymore without "a google installed in their computer" is, like, Survivorman, dude This takes more cajones than flying Alaskan glaciers in 60 knot headwinds.
Come see us sometime. I just mowed.
Bill, you speak so not bookish English I had to enlist a linguist pilot to interpret some of your words. Your grammar, however, is surprisingly correct per Soviet textbooks circa 1988. In the meantime the herbarium list is getting thicker and thicker. 36 new grass strips are conquered within 20 days from July 29th to August 16th on a mega trip. Some of them have a lot of grass and some barely a stem or two. Let me introduce you to Russian Flat M42. The newest and roughest field I've ever been.
Fort Peck 37S of the most intricate layout.
7S7 Valier/Lake Francis the most picturesque (and soft) airfield.
Dave, Sorry that I missed you!
Was a great time!!!
