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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Looking forward to meeting yawl!<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 9:43 PM, Gordon Anderson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gaa@owt.com">gaa@owt.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Thanks! We hope to get there pretty early, we are going to hit the road Thursday night and get as far as we can so we can have lots of practice time. I will need it!<br>
Thanks for the heads up on the road status, we made our reservations at the best western on airport way so we are all set, rates were pretty good.<br>
Is there power at the field or should I bring my generator to charge my batteries?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to flying with you guys!<br>

> Anybody camping at or going to the field will want to drive though Boise eastbound on I84 and get off at the first exit past the rest area "Blacks Creek". Turn right at the stop sign and meander though the desert until you see a couple houses on the right. Turn left shortly after the blue (highway) sign that say "BARKS" onto our dirt drive way. Ya'll be able to see our sun shelter well before you turn.<br>
