Texas STOL Roundup

[cgruby]

I have changed my reservation to the Hangar Hotel in Fredricksburg. I plan to fly over from Hattiesburg, MS to Houston, where Ill spend a few days with my son and grandson, I'll then head over to Llano on Friday the 10th. BTW they still have a couple of rooms left at the Hangar on the 11th.

Cheers,

Decided it was time to get off the nickle & do some planning for Llano.....We are pretty well figured out from St Paul to NE kansas for fuel stops and an overnight if needed.

Anyone out there have any advice about Kitfox friendly airports between Lawrence KS & Llano? Interesting stops along the way? Doesn't have to be in a straight line or anything like that...we wander like Gypsies anyway & plan on taking a week or so.

Looking for good fuel stops, underwing camping, places to hole up if the weather goes down. We are set for a week with food & tent so it's pretty much just needing a safe and secure 'port/alternate(s) to stay at along the way plus auto gas where we can get it.

Thanks,

Dave S.

Fort Parker Flying Field, http://www.fortparker.com/id52.html
Location of on VFR Charts http://www.fortparker.com/id51.html
Contact Darius @ Fort Parker, (254) 747-0592, email: flying@fortparker.com
They have a Camp Site, and a small hotel, http://www.fortparker.com/id55.html

It is an Early settlement in Texas, they have a Grass Strip runway. It is not on the VFR Charts. No Fuel, but there is an airport about 5 miles north that has fuel. It's about 35 miles East of Waco, Texas. If you decide to stop there giveDarius a call, before you leave, and when you get there, he'll pick you up in a Golf Cart and take you to the Fort.

If my planes not down for AF5600 Upgrade, and I get her back in the air, I'm planning on going to Llano, and I'm planning on stopping at Fort Parker. I am waiting for Advanced Flight to give me a call.
