Hey Charlie,
 
Despite locked wheels with wet (freshly cut) grass in the wheel pants, limited ground steering (rudder only no differential braking)  and uphill (not to mention being dark), I craftily aimed for a bump in the runway carefully timing my arrival at minimum lift off speed (ground effect only) and gleefully launched.  Only had about 15 quick discussions with my alter ego as to whether it was smart – until the bump ended the discussion and  resolved the dilemma.
 
Sure wish I could be there – wet runway or not.
 
Tell Tupper and everyone I miss you guys
 
Ed

Well, today would be the day for seaplane arrivals....

But no fears; I don't think there will be any rain left in the skies by the 16th, and the runway will be fine a few hours after the rain stops (for everyone except Ed A. :-) ).

If you're driving, be sure to check your auto GPS against Google Maps before departure; many older databases try to leave you about 6 miles south of us.

We're geared up, and looking forward to seeing everyone next week.

Come on down,


Charlie & Tupper
