Dave...could you extend to Aug 24th, (Saturday)?
Kevin...how about you?
Who else is game?
I'm ambivalent about the dates but would hesitate to suggest Labor Day
Weekend (Aug 30 thru Sept 2).

McMinnville! With a bit longer notice, maybe we can attract a larger

Alpha taxiway at the SW end of runway 22. You can park your airplane in
the camp area. No "conveniences" except for running water. But you are
within walking distance of the airport office that has restrooms and
coffee. Of course, free shuttle service to the Evergreen Aviation
Museum, home of the Spruce Goose. It's a very impressive museum. No
camping fee. Very friendly and helpful folks at the airport office.
