Hi Gang:
Arrived MV yesterday in rain and dense fog. Woke up to the same weather this morning, but Mother Nature smiled on me and the sun is now out and the monuments are in full sight.
Monument Valley is the official home of the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Flyin. The first was held May 2003. We have had one each year since, always in May between Mothers Day and Memorial Day. Works out to the 3d weekend in May.
Plan on attending next May 2009.

Ahem! That ain't no VG, my friend. That is an inverted airfoil with an air
dam on each end.
If I thought I could get better slow speed flight and eliminate that dreaded
"5th wheel drop", I'd have those little suckers stuck all over it.
That old Taylor Wing is worth a 10% decrease in fuel burn. I'm over 6,000
miles into this trip. That figures out to a little over 600 miles free
pulling. 
Take care,

Well at least it appears that you didn't have to fight for a camping spot.

Here's a few photos of MV today with the sun shining a little.
This is more like the normal way the home of the Kolb Unplanned/Unorganized Flyin looks like.
It is unplanned and unorganized. This means no one is in charge, no one has any duties, and no one has to pay to attend. We are a laid back group of Kolb builders, flyers, and folks that want to be building and flying a Kolb. After 6 successful flyins, my major reason for coming back is to be able to spend time with friends I have met through attendance at the flyin in MV.
Takes me 20 flight hours to get to MV, so......... I am more than happy to sit down at the airstrip, under the shade of a wing, and enjoy world's greatest company.

Thanks for sharing, John. I'll make it one of these years.
Are you running from the Bama, Auburn game? I'll bet Alabama is crazy this time of year...
