Does Krey have real bathrooms? Maybe even a shower? I ask because I'd
be leaving wherever I stay for Edwards on Monday morning, and I'm
planning on 'camping' in my truck.
Thanks all, again,
Jim


It does, and it does (very manly ones..), and since your used to 40
grit wind (thanks for that term BTW it'll be just like home! The
dry lake is no longer the base of operations (unless you plan on
testing some Predator drones...), but Krey is only about 10(?) or so
miles away from it.

Some really cool folks down that way though, I think you'll like it.
I'd call ahead to see if there are real tiedowns spots available,
cause if not you need to bring rather long rebar or something to
fashion some since the airfield is basically loose-ish gravel for the
first few feet (it's situated on an alluvial fan) on top and normal
tiedowns (even my beloved claw...) have nothing to root into.

covers in the top pic. Please tell Danny Pierson I say hello...

Nice folks at any of the choices.
Rig on pavement, tie down.
Have breakfast in the airfield cafe with view windows of your lovely
steed
prepped for flight. Park the mobile household in the full hookups
across the street from my hangar, or dry park anywhere on the field.
Full bathrooms/showers in the RV park.
Fenced grassy dog-yard for the children.

No long tug line waiting for launch. Launch from pavement.
Crew can be arranged, either Cessna or trailer crew.
Closest to north gate entrance - 40 minutes to Monday's meeting.

See you as soon as I get back from Friday's retrieve.

;-)
