Final Approach
Well folks, it's been a while..... a LONG while since I had time to do some posting on the good 'ol webboard. Been working 90+ hrs/week for the past month or so running the TerraGators putting down pre-emergence corn herbicide and liquid 32% nitrogen. Finally got some rain last week and we've had a few days to catch our breath (and re-weld a few spray booms).
ANYWHO... Since I got married last December, working long hours affects more than just me now. To try and put out some flames, I told my bride that we would go somewhere for a long weekend as soon as we get a break at work. I had looked at flying to Petit Jean State Park a couple of years ago, but never actually made the trip. Now the opportunity - and justification - has shown its head again. Anyone know the ins-and-outs of the airport itself. ALSO, any news on how to use the corresponding State Park facilities? We're looking for somewhere about +/- 3 hr flight from central Iowa for a camping (tent and fire, not cabin) weekend so any other suggestions would be appreciated. As I said, we're looking for about a 3 hr flight from central Iowa in the RV-7A, so that gives about a +/- 475 nm range for the trip.
Thanks for any ideas and suggestions..
