Sounds like we need to start planning a fly-in to Red's Horse Ranch for 2006....I see on the charts that they list Red's as a private strip, but it does belong to the USFS....there is a private strip a short 1/2 mile down river at the Minam Lodge....So beware....Minam Lodge does offer up good breakf...

Yes Red's is still open to the public, the USFS has had it for at least the last 6-8 years. I spent allot of last fall going in and out of Red's and it's a great place to visit.... It would be to wet, if not snowy to go in there now...but we're loosing it fast now....I think we ought to put together...

Congradulations, sounds like you survived your first flight in your 170 quit well....there are many more fun times to come in your 170....I'm just over the Wallowa Mountains to the north of you at 8S4 in Enterprise....I'll stop in the next time the weather lets me fly and I'll share a few stories of...

Thanks for the information gentlemen, I'll get the hanger heated up the next few days and I'll let you know how things go with the primer...One other thing that I've noticed this winter is that my tack jumps 100-150 RPMs the first 10-15 minutes after I start it up, but settles down after that time.....

This may have been a past topic, but if it was I couldn't find it. It's winter here in NE Oregon and and we're finally beginning to have a "normal" winter with temps in and around zero (I know that's a warming trend for you all up in AK). The last few flights in this colder weather I have ...
