Hi Al,

We will be going to Parshall and Minot.  I asked Linda where Glen Ullin
was and she had to look it up.  We probably won't get there.  It's on
the other side of the lake don't you know.

Parshall has a pretty nice paved runway, and a grass strip on the
chart, but when I was last there the grass looked awful thick and
high.  All parking was tiedowns except for the locals.  Probably 6 or 8
small hangers.

Thanks for breaking my bubble.  I though I had an airplane. :)

Bob W.
