Thanks Bigtim. I need the encouragement. I went to the meeting with the parks dept. last night. It was informational but I found that some of the inherent problems with flying on state land cannot be solved so easily. Someone brought up the idea of requiring flyers to be AMA members and the ranger said that since it's on state land and open to the public we cannot require the public to have insurance. ??? So there you have a situation that cause the state to be responsible for the public and we can't make changes to protect our club. ARRGGGHHHH!!!! There are other things too that came up that would be better at protecting the club and the flyers and it doesn't sound like the state would make the changes to make them happen. To me it kind of sounds like we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. I think I'm going to sign up at a club down the highway a ways and fly there.
