Bugs? BUGS? Bug Schmug!! [>:]

Got any rattlers around your field? [X(]

Our field is owned by the City of Arvada. They bought the land over an abondoned rock quarry for a couple million bucks. We lease it for about $1000/yr. BUT--it's technically a city park. It's a prarie dog sancuary. Relocated prarie dogs from the front range are relocated to several "sanctuaries" and our airfield is one of them. It was specified in the terms of the lease and we can't get out of it. Can't shoot, poison or harrass in any manner these darn little prarie dogs. They camp out on the runway, dig holes under and around the concrete runway. They dig holes IN the grass runway. We HATE 'em, but we can't do anything about it.

All them little dogs running around attracts quite a nice population of predators too. Hawks, coyotes and RATTLE snakes.

Watch your step when you go to retrieve a downed or crashed plane. A guy saw one 10' off the west end of the runway last season.

Bugs! You sissies!! Come on out to Colorado and play!!
