Saturday, 1 July 2006 was the annual fly in breakfast at Granby CO (KGNB).
Whereas last year about six RVs from MeadowLake flew up I apparently was
the only one this year. Weather was great. Air was calm and cool at 14,500'
The following picture was taken a few years ago

As soon as I got out of the plane I noticed a really nice smell to the
air. It was
probably a combination of crisp air, trees and some moisture. There was a good
variety of planes including the normal multiple RVs
I hung around for about an hour (perhaps a record for me) then departed.
As I crossed the mountains to the plains I listened to the MeadowLake
unicom and a pilot was complaining about the runway in use. The norm
here is to land/take-off on Rwy 15 when the winds are about 5 knots and
less. Some people want to use Rwy 33 with the slightest amount of breeze
out of the north. So instead of listening to the whining I called Denver
approach to make sure that I was not in their preferred arrival/departure
path. By the time that they cut me loose (got rid of me) there were no
pattern problems at MeadowLake.
The MeadowLake runway was recently slurried and looks really great
compared to recent years:
