Doug G. Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I had planned on coming down, but it isn't going to happen. My 92 year old mother is having some health problems. Hopefully next year. It sounds like a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportCruiser Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Roger, any idea how many rental cars we'll need? How does that work? Dave N281DW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 We'll get one SUV like last year and a couple of others got their own cars. Between us and a few shuttling trips it all worked out. If you want to get a car and help out by all means go for it. We all took turns driving last year. Worked out fairly well.

Jeremy Zawodny Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Looks like we have to cancel. My wife has a conference that is almost exactly the same days as the fly-in. To make up for it, we're going to do our own flying safari to the same part of the country the week before. We'll plan on the fly-in again next year!

207WF Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Wayne and Nancy have made their room reservation, and with the new fuel pump we are looking forward to the event! WF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 FWIW... the Gov shutdown (mostly the Parks) is likely to affect the Fly-in, at least a bit. Not enough to worry, but we are evaluating changes that may have to be made. Even if they get things back on track, the Parks may just consider remaining closed, as many close in late Oct or Nov anyhow. As much as they'd like to, they can't stop us from enjoying the views from the air! Currently affected: Bullfrog flight (park closed, lodge closed), Dam tours, and the River Rafting trip. Monument Valley is NOT affected (tribal land). The Bryce trip is NOT affected, but you cannot enter the Park. Ruby's still has breakfast and horse/ATV rides, which utilize their land on the edge of the park. Escalante is NOT affected, but all the Parks around it are closed. I'm sure they will really be happy to see us! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Roger I am looking at a day trip tp DRO with a stop at monuement vally private strip.. I looks like about one hour past monument valley and very simular terrian. I have not flown in that immediate area. I have visited Durango many time but never flown in. Any comments or suggestions.

CT4ME Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 'Similar country most of the way there. Mtns are mostly North of Durango. We've considered breakfast trips over that way, but KDRO is just a bit too far. Lots of great scenery interspersed with boring. Maybe a more northerly route on the way back to Page, up towards Blanding, then to Page. Good scenery over several Parks. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I knew the Page fly-in would be a hit from my previous flights to Durango. I would cross Powell at 11,000' and see the splendor with Grand Canyon and Monument Valley nearby the views were the best I had ever seen and I live in a view paradise.

Roger Lee Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 FYI, Here is the basic flight info and the routes don't always follow a straight line due to scenery. If the Government doesn't get it together our raft trip on the Colorado river will be affected. If it is we will do something else for fun. There are places to go and things to do. We can also add 1-2 extra flights out or head down to the water and rent a boat for a cruise. Anybody with any pull with our Gov. better step up and whip them boys into shape. As they say, "Down, but not out". Page 2013 Flights.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrnflyr Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I wish I was coming this year, but will have to miss out. Previously committed to the Red River Rivalry (OU vs Tex). You're going to miss my flock of the "heavies/spam cans" . You all have fun and stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Jefts Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I called the hotel again today to make sure they had the correct dates for me for the page fly in. I did this because they have mysteriously been changed twice before. This time they were again wrong. They said someone called in and changed their dates to the 17th check in and 20th check out. That changed mine as well the girl behind the phone said. Might want to check your reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 So, we're down to the last week and things are looking GOOD! 'Weather is looking great, albeit a few degrees cooler than some years. That's OK, with the DA at Bryce we can use the cooler temperatures. The PARKS ARE OPEN! That means the river rafting trip is on, the ANTELOPE Marina "dinner on the Lake" is a GO (Sat Nite), the Bullfrog trip is open, and things are normal at Bryce. We're arranging transportation at Escalante for breakfast and maybe a quick trip to the museum or park visitor center. FYI... Some folks have been here before (maybe even a few times). Some have wanted to do "other things" while they are here. There's plenty to do, and you are free to do your own thing, by yourselves, or with a few others. Things to do: Bryce ATV or Horseback tours, Escalante jeep tours, Monument Valley tours, Flights to Marble Canyon, boat rentals, and more. This year, I'm going to try to work in a flight to a spot maybe 10-15 minutes West of Page... maybe you've heard of "the Wave, at coyote buttes". Of course, there's always a quick flight to Valle at the Canyon, Meteor Crater, and even Sedona. One of our group is planning a day trip to Durango.

Roger Lee Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 The weather will be great, but about 10-15F cooler this year. Shorts may leave you a little chilled. The day temps are around 61-67F and the lows are 41-45f. Great for density altitude help. Make sure your heater works at altitude. I'll be there Tuesday about 1130 hrs. We need to be at the raft trip office at 1030 hrs on Wednesday. . See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
