LSXC Update #1 (June 13-16) |
|||
| We began loading up our equipment earlier this week for our event in south Texas. Won't bore you with a long list of the equipment we brought, but we're fully operational with our trike and Dragonfly for both HG and PG services, as well as ultra light instruction. Local Harlingen pilot Tom Rheman donated his winch for any truck towing, as well as a full size fridge for the hanger. We were quite a site on the road, caravanning with our Dragonfly trailer behind our van, our trike trailer behind our Toyota truck, and our travel-trailer behind Fred's van. The City of Edinburg was very gracious and accommodating upon our arrival, making sure we had immediate access to our very nice hanger and getting the electricity hooked up. A horny toad also greeted us, which none of us have seen since we were kids. We guess he likes us since we see him just about everyday along with lots of other wildlife and an incredible number of birds. It's like National Geographic right at our back door! The conditions here have been quite awesome. The winds are light in the morning and clouds start forming about 8 am. Conditions begin to really turn on between 9 and 10 am. Tom Rheman was kind enough to escort us down to Progreso, Mexico on Sunday for some lunch, margaritas, and shopping. The margaritas were so good that Gaye rode the mechanical bull, and didn't fall off! | |||
