Even in windy conditions, 9 airplanes made the trip to the APA Grapevine event in March. Three airplanes camped overnight.

Our hosts, Barb, Bob and Joe were visiting RAF members from Wyoming. They were very gracious and generous to cook for us at this event. Elk and beef burgers were the menu for lunch. They are real backcountry pros and sported RAF embroidered cooking aprons. We really enjoyed their company and hope they come this way again.

Paul and Charlie brought down another load of firewood, so we are well stocked to last us through the spring season.

Those of you that didn't come out missed a good one!
