marbleturtle Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I was curious to know who on this forum plans on being at Sun-N-Fun this year... dates and flying or driving? I am thinking about the first 2 days... unfortunately driving. (unless some kind soul wants to stop by in North GA... I'll be happy to shoo the cows off the runway! ) So who else is going?

Bowlersaid Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I am thinking about going this year - very tired of being cold If I go I will fly If I fly I could drop by and get you Ga seems to be inbetween Mi and Fla lol. However I would be wanting to stay more than just the 2 days you describe Quote The plane that travels thousands of miles begins with a few small steps.

cncdoc Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 It's a scant 2.5 hours drive North (brrr cold) my brother wanted to fly his Commanche up there but I talked him out of it. So we are hoofing it. We are going to hit all the high spots and go home. So 1 more going. Quote Back to building... #618 Cozy MK IV My Cozy web pages, courtesy: Rick Maddy...

Joe Patterson Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I know several people(other than the ones above) from the "Cozy E-Mail" list are going, they have said as much on the e-mails. I think they must feel like,"There is no reason to state my intentions HERE" I am watching this "THREAD" very closly.........So I will know who to ENVY. I can NOT go.

However I would be wanting to stay more than just the 2 days you describe. Well, if I can hija... er... catch a flight with someone, I'll be open on dates. I just want to try to avoid Spring Break traffic if driving! I do 160 miles a day on I-75 commuting to and from work. I don't want to be on it during my time off! KDNN is the airport. Of course I can split fuel or whatever other expenses are needed. I'm thinking about forgoing a hotel and camping out to be in the middle of it all. (What are the camping facilities available and what's require for camping at SNF?) But don't worry, KDNN is now a modern airport and there's hardly any snakes sunning themselves on the runway this time of year. Hey Joe... is it good Karma that KDNN preserved the Cheif Vann House intact when they added the 2000 ft jet extension, or is it bad Karma that Dalton took the land from the Cherokee's to build the airport? Don't want to plop my airplane at that airport if some ghost cheif has his feathers in a ruffle! Quote This ain't rocket surgery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey MT, Wavoka, The Paiute Messiah, would have told you the answer if you would have asked him............. All Indians everywhere must Dance and keep on Dancing. In Spring Great Spirit comes.He will bring game of every kind. There will be plenty for all. All dead Indians will live again as Young Indians, they will play and think as young Indians, they will be Strong like Young Indians. They will speak of the Beautiful Things, They will teach Hope, and Love to The Ones that follow them. This is what a leader said to his people while they were being slaughtered for what they believed. To teach such a Powerful outlook of hope and love to the women and children, is the best I can hope to do myself. The airport should use the call sign K-NDN ( say it ) Peace Brother, NDN Wanabe (My wife is a Choctaw/Cherokee Woman, with some french blood in her for extra *BAM*) Quote Joseph@TheNativeSpirit.Net I am Building a Jo-Z IV StarShip.

marbleturtle Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 Good news! The original planned extension was a new second runway. I found out today that the new extension on the original runway was the 2nd plan and didn't encroach on the Chief's property. Whew... no bad Karma. The only feathers on the runway are from loose chicken's! Quote This ain't rocket surgery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Patterson Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 With a name like Marble Turtle............The Chief NDN is more worried about what kind of character you are than if your airplane is parked in his field. I also, have a guess that you actually care more about your airplane than his field. As for what karma YOU receive, that will be more determined by what it is YOU do. yateh hewa.........wasichu Quote Joseph@TheNativeSpirit.Net I am Building a Jo-Z IV StarShip. What Do YOU Want?

marbleturtle Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 Joe, I'm actually in no-man's land... 1/8 Cherokee, 7/8 mutt. Cherokee Nation won't have me or my mother. My sister traced our father's family all the way back to Benjamin Franklin (I didn't even know he had kids!). But the way I look at it, who cares? I don't define who I am for what my grandparents did. I'm my own man. I'm glad too see people here are going to SNF! Now maybe I can put some faces to the names I know...

marbleturtle Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 Can anyone tell me what the camping facilities are like at SNF? I'm thinking me, my sleeping bag, and my wife's mini-van with all the seats removed (save one). So are showers / restrooms available? Nasty or Nice? Is there a camping fee? Any info is appreciated!

shender1 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I camped down there last year with a couple of friends and a C-172. We camped right on the field next to the VOR station. There are bathrooms and showers available. It was a little bit of a hike from the runway but if you are patient they have shuttle tractors which will take you around the grounds. I cant remember the price of camping but I think it was pretty reasonable. About $15 a day per aircraft. Go to sun-n-fun.org The rates for all types of camping should be on the web site. You can also download a map of the area with all the locations of the facilities. Quote I'm not aware of too many things. I know what I know if you know what I mean.
