Hi Tracy and group,

Glad to hear Shady Bend is in great shape. We had a pretty nice blow and rain here. It totally destroyed a new house that was ready for CO on the north side of airport. I lost a few more trees, shingles on the hangar. Jo and I got in the RV on wheels and spent Friday nite at Blue Spring state campground, sat nite at my brothers , and last nite in Ocala NF at Salt Spring. Only started raining on us around midnight, no wind and we drove west to silver springs and drove dry roads all the way home. Temp this morning was 56 degrees. We had over 6 inches which is what my gage holds and the neighbor said do not try to cross the runway with your golf cart.

Sorry to say, but good chance I may be driving to Shady Bend if runway does not dry in miracle time.

See you guys there,

Bernie
