<div><font color="#000000">Glad your coming. Yes, the Best Western Northwest Lodge is the closet hotel to the field. There is a Jack in the box and perkins restarant in front of the hotel. You'll be less than 15 mins to the field.</font></div>

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></span></font><font color="black"><span style="COLOR: black"></span></font></p>

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>> As a warning, The freeway though Boise is a mess especially the area around the airport. Specifically the Orchard and Vista interchanges are being rebuilt. From I-84: Unless you are staying downtown or near the mall; Do Not go to city center, follow signs to Mountain Home.<br>
><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.</span></font><font color="black"><span style="COLOR: black"></span></font></p>
