Regarding MV, I would be willing to bet NO ONE came so close to going, but
didn't than me!! As I have mentioned in the past, I am building a shop
(for building airplanes) and a pool and 40 sq yards of RV parking at my new
home in SW Utah. I am almost finished, and the afternnon of the 18th of May
I was busy chasing around town looking for some special shaped flashing for
my roofing crew that was showing up on the 19th to get started roofing my
shop. I finally found the flashing at 5:00 Friday afternoon. After eating
dinner and what-not I didn't finish my flight planning until 11:45 Friday
night. I was whipped!! I then got up at 5:00 am, with intentions on going,
but I was SO tired I couldn't see straight! I do not fly under these
conditions....period. So, as it turns out, I was about as close to making
it as anyone can get, but no ceegar!! And I probably live the closest, for
crying out loud!!!
So, it is with deep appreciation I salute those you that did make it to
Monument Valley! I know many of you really went to a lot more trouble than
I would have to to make it.....and you did!!
I missed an easy opportunity to fly and meet a bunch of you nice people,
and put it off until the last minute, and then couldn't make it. I even
talked to Arty and Pat Ladd (on the phone) and told them I was planning on
making it.
I will be there next year, and I will be flying my plane (Kolb).
Realizing I miissed out big
time, Mike in SW Utah

NO ONE came so close to going,>>
Hi Mike
Good try. Hard luck. Sounds as though the fact that we only made contact
over the phone was a plus. If I had been able to actually call you wouldn`t
have got even close to going to MV.
I had no idea that when I rang you, beer in hand, from the quiet of a log
cabin in Zion Canyon, that you were rushing round like the proverbial blue
assed fly trying to get ready to fly.
You will have the opportunity to make it next year, take it. . I,
unfortunately will not. Maybe in a couple of years I might make Homers fly
in. Something to look forward to.
Cheers
Pat.
