Field Report--May 31, 2010

The field is freshly mowed with great turf coverage. Received 1.1 inches of rain last night, so there are some wet spots (standing water in a few small areas). Field drains well, except for a couple of low spots near the midpoint of the runway and then a strip off the west edge of the runway at the south end.

Aircraft parking will be at North end of field.

USE CAUTION: Parking areas are pretty soft with less turf coverage.

If you're unable to fly in, we'd still love to have you join us, just drive on out...there will still be lots of food and fun on this perfect weather day!
