My hanger/field is 1 mile down river,my business is another mile down.It makes it handy.i am able to storm my tractor and stuff there,right in the middle.It is alos nice to be able to drive past every morning and see that little strip.It kinda cheers me up.In the summer i leave one of the planes out front on floats,and sometimes skis.I would'nt change a darn thing.The hanger is close enough to go and barbecue for lunch.Sometimes when i get bummed out,i have to stop and get some gratitude.I think i am the luckiest man alive.
 
Some advice from a dumb woods boy.Next time you are on a lawn with a for sale sign,look around and see how close you can tie down the plane.If it ain't within eyesight it is much too far.I could see the plane out front for roughly 9 months a year,depending on ice and high water.
 
From my old office, down stairs about 15 steps to the basement, from my home about 3 miles and from my new job, 90 miles....
