SUMMARY:Weekend Getaway to Death Valley, CA -- April 27th
LOCATION:Death Valley, CA
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:     * * * CANCELED - This Weekend Getaway will be Reschedul
 ed * * *\n\nDeath Valley, CA -- April 27th\nI know, it has been ages since 
 our last Weekend Getaway!  And, since I'm a little late organizing thi
 s one, I thought that we'd do a 1-day trip rather than something longer. &n
 bsp;So, let's head for Death Valley before it gets hot!  The
  airport is Furnace Creek (L06), the lowest airport in the nation at -210' 
 MSL.  Remember Death Valley and 20 Mule Team Borax?  Ronald Regan
  used to appear in the syndicated, 30 min. TV series.  As a kid, I did
 n't realized that the show was actually sponsored by the Pacific Coast Bora
 x Company (founded in 1927) and was trying to motivate tourism to the area.
 \n \nArrive:  Saturday, 4/27 by 10:00 a.m. (1700Z).  Fl
 ying from Chandler (KCHD), I plan to go more or less direct (323 nm.) and f
 ly through Alert Area A-231 (north of Luke AFB) as well as the Gladden and 
 Bagdad MOAs.  Even though it's Saturday and everything will probably b
 e "cold", be sure and contact Luke Approach before transitioning the SATR.\
 nFBO @ destination:  There isn't one!  Furnace Creek is
  a nontowered strip just west of the Furnace Creek Inn and has no&nbsp
 ;services.  (If you need fuel, Lake Havasu, Needles, Laughlin/Bullhead
  City and Jean (just SW of McCarran) are along the way.)  There are no
  tiedowns; I suggest bringing chocks.\nGround transportation:  Wa
 lk or shuttle.  There used to be a phone at the strip that connected t
 o the resort.  However, I that's been inop for quite awhile.  How
 ever, if we call (760)786-2345 using a cell phone, the Inn w
 ill send a van down to the strip and pick us up.  It's about 0.75 mi. 
 from the ramp area to the resort.  And, the resort is uphill.  La
 st time I was there, we took the van to the resort and got a little exercis
 e walking back the plane in the afternoon.\nLunch:  There are a c
 ouple of restaurants at the resort.  I don't expect that we'll ne
 ed advance reservations.  We'll just eat somewhere that looks interest
 ing.\nActivities:  Walk around the grounds of the resort. &n
 bsp;There are actually two establishments on the property near the airport:
   the Inn and the Ranch.  I'm a little confused about which is wh
 ere.  However, I know that there's a Borax mining museum, a visitor's 
 center, and some gardens.  There's also a heated swimming pool if anyo
 ne is so inclined as well as horseback riding.  And, there's a golf co
 urse, as well.\nDepart:  Mid afternoon?  In my plane, t
 he flight is about 2 hrs.  And, I expect to leave in time to land at C
 handler before nightfall.    \n \nIf you’re interested

  APA website!  As the planning unfolds, I’ll provide additional detail
 s.\nSmall caveat…  As is the case on all of our Weekend Getaway Flight
 s, you are PIC and responsible for all aspects of flight planning
 , including (but not limited to) weather, routing, and aircraft performance
 .  The go/no-go decision is entirely yours!  As volunteer tr
 ip leader, I’ve selected a destination and will arrange a few details like 
 transportation and possible restaurant (or lodging) reservations that do&nb
 sp;not involve collecting money.\n Looking ahead to May:  Ca
 nyon de Chelley National Park near Chinle, AZ\nThis will be an overnight in
  Chinle, AZ (E91).  It's a relatively short flight, only 203 nm. from 
 Chandler.  This is a place that I haven't visited, and between then an
 d now, I'll do some investigation.  If you're familiar with the park a
 nd what's available, feel free to contact me!\n \n\nBlue skies and tai
