Re: Anyone Been Up To Kirshners This Winter?

Eric, I'm sorry I didn't get to the hill to get a pic of the LZ for you. I didn't leave the house. Now I work straight through Sat, so I won't be able to get a pic. I leave before daylight and get home after dark. I can tell you that the wettest part of the LZ is overgrown as I said. I actually walk...

Re: Anyone Been Up To Kirshners This Winter?

I live three miles from the hill. The hill itself is in winter wheat. Part of the LZ hasn't been touched since last winter due to wet weather. I'm not sure if I'll be past there tomorrow. If I am, I'll post a pic

Re: Sat08Dec : Any Polar Bear Pilots?

I was at work a short distance away yesterday in Hagerstown. Glad you guys had a good time. Would like to have been there, even if only to BS with everyone. I've been to the training hills fairly consistently, once each week x 4 weeks in a row. I'm progressing! As long as the weather and temps coope...

Re: Pulpit Saturday November 17th

I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. I've worked every day since being at Smithsburg (including today, Thanksgiving!), so haven't had a lot of time of loaf on the internet.
