I met Susan Bell, the owner of the LZ below Dickies yesterday. What an incredibly nice person! She told me that her family had been hosting us pilots for 3 generations now. It started when her Grandfather saw a strange huge "bird" in the sky and got out the gun to shoot it down. Her parents had to practically restrain grandpa before they could convince him that there was a person under that wing. Once he saw that it was a HG pilot, he was hooked and he and the rest of the family have welcomed our pilots ever since.
She wished us all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I wished her the same on behalf of all of us.
By the way, I walked up to meet her to inform her that the lower gate next to the road was open. We discussed the standard etiquette of "leave it how you found it" but she asked that we close it if we find it open.
