[NSRCA-dist8] Contest Practice, Boise, ID

[astropuppy]

No power, water, grass, trash cans etc at the field. And our outhouse is
rather primitive. The field is basically a 700' strip of pavement in the
middle of the desert. Think lots of dirt. However our pit area does have
work tables and is partially shaded. We have a shaded visitors area with
picnic tables as well. Flying station face north. Count on wind from the
west, fliers left.

Airport way runs parallel to I-84 on the south side between exits Vista and
Broadway. I urge you to look at google maps and learn how to come to and foe
via the Broadway exit. It will save you a lot of time and nerves. There are
two Best westerners on airport way across the street from one another. Both
are nice and there are a couple Denny's type restaurants within walking
distance.

Looking forward to meeting yawl!
