Subject: | Slingshot project |
You don't see many Slingshots for sale so I thought I'd advise the list that there
is a Slingshot project for sale on Barnstormers. According to ad, cage is
damaged from bad landing. Might be a good opportunity for someone jonesing for
a Slingshot.

Subject: | Flying in the Desert |
Flew over to the Alvord Desert and the Steens Mountain yesterday morning. Perfect
day for flying.
The desert is very wet and green, very abnormal.
The Alvord is up to the edge of the sage brush. Normally, we would be able to
land anywhere on the lake at this time of the year.
There was no one at the Alvord Hot Spring or in the area of the Alvord Dry (wet)
Lake. Saw some antelope and a golden eagle.
Three fellow Kolbers are arriving today. Mike Marker and Gary Haley are flying
in from Houston, TX, and Los Lunas, NM. They spent the night last night, camping
out at Ibex Lake in Western Utah. We have been following them by SPOT.
They are back in the air and flying north this morning. Roger Hankins is loading
up at Grants Pass, OR, trailering his Kolb and other toys to the Rock House.
Should arrive at 2000 or 2100 hours this evening.
Got to make a call this morning to Steve Henry, over near Boise. Steve is the
fellow that does the dead stick take offs. He started out with a Firestar before
switching to the Highlander.

Gary H and Mike M landed at Jack Pot, NV. When they depart there they will have
171 sm to fly over total wilderness. No towns or settlements in between.
There is a gravel strip at Grassmere, NV, but no facitlities of any kind. It
is a great experience flying through that area, totally depending on the Kolb
to get you to your destination.
Weather here is 71F with light winds.
I wish all of you Kolbers could join us. Would be quite a sight to see a couple
hundred Kolbs tied down at the Rock House. Will try to take a lot of pictures
to share with you all. After being confined to a wheel chair last year this
time, and missing my annual flight West, I understand how important those messages
and photos were.
Ezra, the Tennessee Walker, got a little excited and decided to show off when I
flew around the Rock House on arrival.
On the ground, taxiing south to the house, after 11 days on the road.
