Attending were Jim Corbett, Dave La Fever, Gene Pape, Gary Weems and I. February 2 At Orchard Point John Thompson, Dave La Fever, Gary Weems, Russ Hester, Gene Pape and Wayne Esauk. Ranch Update - FYI, just a status update: The intermittent nice weather has allowed us to keep the Can Do Ranch mowed. I expect it will be too wet to use for flying any time soon, but the mowing will make it so that we don t have a lot of prep work to do when we can get back in there. Picture shows the ranch as of 1-22; the next few nice days dried up the puddles but rain then refilled them in early February. Next Club Meeting Time and place 10 a.m. Saturday February 16 th, at Orchard Point or at the Kozy at 1600 Coburg Rd, Eugene. If the weather is bad.
