Perhaps you recognize them?
After I fed them well, we went over to the fly in!
We don't need no stinkin' skis!!!
It ain't bad landing on ice!
A good time was had by all!

Vlad, you should remember that by now! It's called Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum!
Here is the Cub that Carl owns:
It sure is sweet, huh?

P.S. Were you talking about the Jackelope? They are very rare! Steve was lucky to get a shot off and make it hit home! He must be good! He needs a butt monkey for his collection too!

Jackelope it is. Steve is the best what a cool guy never saw RVs though.
Piper was different, bluish. It was parked by Noah's 7.

YES! Bald Mountain Airport is the coolest little airport in Maine!
I didn't get a pic of Steve's Cubbie.
Sorry...

It is a nice place indeed. Captn is DA MAAN!!! I can proudly call him my COUSIN! Let's make that icy RV gathering an annual event. I need to mark my 2013 calendar. When? Rain AND shine. Can we tie down overnight at the lake?

Vlad, I am PROUD to be your cousin!
I didn't know that you had a desire to be Italian! hahaha
Michele says that you must bring her chocolates AGAIN each year for her birthday and you have got a deal!
I will keep you all posted as to the date of the ice fly in at Bald Mountain. I am SURE that Steve will be most accommodating.
I am not sure we could have nearly as nice weather as we did this past year. It was WICKED NICE!!!
Let's do a SUMMER Fly in!!!

I might be around for a few minutes on the 5th, but most likely we are headed north to see Kris's family. Kris's dad has bone cancer and every day is special that she can be near him.
