Don't look at the Saturday forecast. Tom is coming so it can't possibly rain.
(but I'm packing some rain gear now)

DANG, was telling @Hawaii Sloper we could hit TICK point on the way home so he could see what it looks like.
Raffle Donations!
We had a great raffle last year, the best one ever! A very large part of that was our members bringing things to for the raffle. I know a few folks have already got the ball rolling with some personal donations. So I'm hear putting a little bug in your ear to join them and make it amazing again. The donation does not need to be RC related either. Something for the ladies? Maybe a nice bottle of wine, etc.
Aloft Hobbies is donating a number of goodies.
Dream Flight has donated, they have been a great supporter of the event.
Our new sponsor this year is FrSky! Still waiting for the items to arrive, but understand we have a brand new FrSky transmitter and a number of their super nice servos. Very cool!
Shirts
If you ordered a shirt or sweater, see us at main camp to pick them up. Think Jeremy will be dropping them off at camp Friday.

Awesome! Don't bring it if it was about to go in the bin though!
Bring something you'd be happy to win at the raffle...

I am donating some items from Aloft. Maybe they will put a Silly Stick sticker on them.
PARKING
If you are in need of parking and are do not need access to your car Saturday, then we have a wonderful solution. We can park vehicles down the street in a gated and protected compound. We will be offering a shuttle service to and from as needed. Even if you have your own campsite, you may want to consider the remote lot to make more spots for the day visitors. If you are interested, please ask in the main camp and we will get you setup.
This is a great way to free up some spots for the day visitors that always pack in on Saturday. Thanks!

I'm 100% the same. The predictions are so often wrong that unless there's a huge storm coming in I don't pay much attention to it. Plus, there's just a little window where they're predicting the rain so I say we just trust that it's gonna be just fine. And if not, we'll just make the most of it.

Sweet! I plan on getting there around 2-3 or so. I think they let you check in at 2. We'll get some air traffic free time before the skies get packed on Saturday.

I went to Tick point last Saturday for the first time. Holy crap, it was amazing. There were guys with F3F planes, a scale plane, all kinds of stuff. The landing zone isn't THAT bad if you have decent brakes. Would take some practice, though. I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and try to land my Jester there, I think it's possible with a good headwind.
