But then I wouldn't have had an excuse to buy the ATV (which I use in
the woods near the airport when the weather is too crappy for
flying)... grin

Actually, I thought about adding some concrete along the edge to make
it easier to get over the lip, but I don't remember which side of the
lip the door comes down on... We've had 6" of rain within the last two
days -- thunder storms, low ceilings, basically weather that I don't
want to be flying in... I'll try to remember to get a better look at
the lip the next time I'm at the airport...
