Thanks to everyone who came out and flew or volunteered!  We had a great 
contest in nearly perfect weather.  We were able to get in 2 rounds, a 
relaxed lunch and another 2 routes before we called it a day.

If you stayed around in damp Anchorage, you really missed some good flying!

The new field is coming along nicely and the seed is germinating :) 
It's even attracting full size Beavers, but that's another story - and 
he didn't make weight, size or sound.  However he also didn't leave a 
mark on the new field.

The General Store Ice cream on the way home was great - Graylin and 
Riley recommend the huckelberry and orange cream.
