RGSA Dry Canyon Fly-in at Alamagordo, Oct. 7-10

Robin Hastings of the RGSA sent me a reminder about their Columbus Day fly-in at Dry Canyon in Alamagordo, October 7th - 10th.

If you've never been it's definitely worth the drive. Dry Canyon is a spectacular west-facing H3/P3 site that overlooks the town of Alamogordo and the White Sands national monument. They have a grassy LZ in Hobby Park, and there is camping and an assortment of hotels and motels there.

If you thinking about going and need directions, post here.

I am interested in the trip (Sherry's busy with teacher workshop Fri & Sat). I have all 4 of those days available. I will call Andy to coordinate. Anyone else going over?

As of now, Terry & I are planning to leave early Saturday morning and return when we get done flying on Monday.

We are going to check the weather this evening and make our final decision. If anyone wants to join us, let us know.

I had a great time with a great group of people. They had about 12 people show up. Flew all 3 days. Got in one XC of about 23miles and estimate I got in about 6hrs of air time over 3 days.
