Bill,
You suck.
Ok, I am jealous. I am not one for a large population of other flyers, but as long as everyone is taking turns or doesn't mind flying with others up at the same time, I would love to have a larger club to belong to. My options are thin around here. One is VERY tight knit and hard to get into. You actually have to be voted in. They require AMA insurance and $40 per year, and you must show up to at least half of the montly meetings. The other, which I will enclose pictures of, is small and they put a walking trail right near it. There is always a pretty tough crosswind, and there is NEVER anyone else there. When there is, it is someone picnicing in our pavilion when there are a million more throughout the park, and of course they usually have dogs that like to chew on wings. We can't kick them out but giving dirty looks usually works for me. I am much larger and angry looking than I used to be so I use that to my advantage when I deem my rights are being thread upon.
THE UPSIDE is, we require NOTHING to be there. No ama, no insurance, no joining fees. Nothing.
My other choice is an airfield that is only 10/year and ama. Large runway but it is grass (yuck) and it actually curves at the top. The runway is not very even. It's basically the top of a mountain with the grass cut very low. No pavilions or water/electric etc etc. It is however very private, you need a key to enter through a gate. It really lacks though. They need to bulldoze that and make it level and rock/bump free, put a pavilion in and some water/electric. Anyway, here are the pictures of my airfield. It's not much, but I call it home. I still have to drive 30 minutes to get there though. Notice the position of the windsock, it is constantly like that.
OH BILL, btw, what camera was this taken with? This was on your clubs site.

I have a 1.3 megapixel camera, and it puts edges on everything unless I got high res , large picture size. Even then the color is horrible. I think it's the worst camera I've ever owned and am looking for something better.
