Still getting things together for the November 4-5-6 camp in gathering at Petit Jean KMPJ but had several requests about rooms close by for those that might not want to camp. Someone else asked about bringing a spousal unit that wanted a little upgrade to the tent style camping .
Guys and girls, I think we found you flyers but non campers a deal! This is 3 minutes from the airport campground, shuttle service to and from, and a absolutely gorgeous place to stay.
This is the Rockefeller Conference Center, Presidents Lodge building and they LOVE the idea of our group staying at their facility. These are the nice folks hosting the Friday night arrival BBQ at the Boathouse on the lake. (pictures below) There are 22 double queen rooms and 5 king rooms available in this building for RV folks for $79 a night! Beautiful lounge area with wide screens, bar, and outdoor area 20 feet from your room AND great private gathering room with a kitchen for cookie making .
If you want to just fly in and bring a chair, play like your camping but sleep comfy,.. this is for you. Book a room and we will take you to the center after dinner both nights and pick you up for breakfast in the morning and back to the campsite. Enjoy all the outdoors fun, but just before you would climb in your tent, you can pull back a comforter and snuggle in AAA camping Can't be any easier than that!

So here's the deal! We only have a limited block of rooms and you need to reserve one like RIGHT NOW! We have 5 king rooms and 20 double queens and you can have either one for $79. These are NICE rooms! Wi-fi, plasma screens, etc. Split it with a buddy or buddette and that turns into $39 a night. Call 501 727 5435 and tell them you are with the Petit Jean Fly-in, group number is 42124 to get the right rate! Three rooms were booked today.
Gerald Loyd, says we might have a group planning some formation practice and fly-bys for your viewing pleasure and there is the traditional star gazing and RVSocializing 24x7 !!

Remember for Friday afternoon arrivals, we are having a welcome BBQ with Chicken, Brisket, fixings and maybe a few cold beers !! Breakfasts and lunch are provided by the local EAA group and all you have to bring for the Saturday night SteakOut on the Tarmac is a piece of meat. Your choice on that and we will have the grills, potatoes, salad, bread, firewood and cold drinks. All you have to do now is fire up the airplane, throw a steak in a soft cooler and bring your favorite folding chair. Camp if you want, hotel if you like, but plan on coming either way!
This ain't gonna be nutt'in but fun!
