Netters 2005 was my first gathering, my wife and I flew my 172 up. Parked it away from the KR's with Matt's 175 and there it sat for three days, unused. I'm not sure I'll do that again. We called the Holliday Inn and they sent the van. We waited 45 mins. and no van. As I said my first trip so I knew no one and I'm not much on asking for help but Bill Page asked us if we could use a ride. We met the van as we were leaving, felt bad about that, tipped the guy later but didn't tell him why. As we got to know people rides were easy enough, Lee and I even got a ride from Mrs. Ran although I didn't know who she was at the time. Mike Turner provided several and Mrs.. turner took Dianne shopping on Sat.. Sat. afternoon was another deal. No one around as the big meal approached and Dianne at the hotel, Called a cab and she got the tour of the city! Wal-Mart, Quick stop for chickin, several other passengers in and out, the grand tour! The girl driver was sweet and still eating chicken when Dianne got there 45 min. later. She even offered Dianne some of her chicken. Before we called the cab we tried to rent a car, $40 a day and you have to rent it for two days because they don't work on Sunday, or something like that. I think it was Sat, night we were wandering around the airport aimlessly and one of the Helo-Med evacuation guys loaned us his truck, really nice people there. I think we will do it differently this year. Might even drag a camper, the campground was a LOT of fun. If nothing else we will rent a car ahead, I understand they are a good bit cheaper that way. We had a great time and will see you'll this year and be better prepared. Plan A is to fly my KR in, lot better ramp parking that way. Larry, Thank you again, you did a heck of a job.
