| Subject: | Reno air races/camping |
Not entirely RV related so delete now if that irritates you. I have been
trying to find a campground somewhere around Reno during the weekend of
the Air Races in Sept. but so far no Joy. The "camping" at the races is
just pulling your truck into a big dirt parking lot for two days and
coughing up $150. I had in mind a nice tent campground in a cool canyon
10-15 miles outside of Stead. The only thing I have found so far is RV
(the other kind) parking ....generally in a casino parking lot. For
those who have been making this pilgrimage for a few years, can you
point me in a suitable direction? A mountain biker friend of mine says
he just drives out onto BLM land and sets up....not sure if that is
really ok.
Thanks for your suggestions.

BLM is ok unless local regs forbid camping. I've never seen that,
however. How far is it to national forest? That would be cooler
probably. There should be several campgrounds within the area. I THINK
it's the Carson National Forest, you can check the web.

Spanish Springs airport allows camping, but no showers, and only a portable out
house. Its also a dirt strip but they are VERY friendly and can take you to the
car rental place. Its about a 20 minute drive to the races if memory serves.

Guys.... if you want a font that is FAA legal (exactly to the dimensions in the
FAR) and works whether there are commies in the state or not.... :D
The font is usually called "Military Block letter" and is actually an old Air Force
font called USAF Amarillo
A link is here... and it's actually shareware...
Download the font, and your favorite graphics maker can make vinyl graphics or
a paint mask from it.
This is what they look like on my newly painted Tiger... The blue interior of the
letters are exactly to the specifications.... :)
