L-R, Gregg, Shannon, Terry, Lori, Lowell, Barb, Mike, Helen, and Pdon. The Annual Snowshoe hike was great! The EAA 919 annual Snowshoe hike is getting bigger and bigger every year! This year 10 members and friends (plus 4 dogs!) hiked during the day to the ridge above Peterson MN. (and then back to the airport). Leaving at about 3:00 PM these hikers enjoyed the 28 degree winter afternoon while trekking south. Taking in the sights and sounds of Minnesota at it s finest. Even the wildlife was there to greet us! White-tail deer, grouse, and a Bald Eagle were among some of the critters seen. And finally, back at the lodge around 6:30 PM (55Y s airport lounge!) everyone enjoyed the BBQ s and hot Apple Cider that was awaiting them! At the lodge, one of the cutest sights to see were the dogs though. After all of that fresh air, each one of them had staked out a little spot and went to sleep. Dog-tired! Actually I think that a few of us would liked to have joined them! Will EAA 919 host this event again next year? You bet. So come on out and join us! I do wish to thank everyone that brought some goodies to eat, and to Mike Thern who was able to line up snowshoes for those who didn t have any. Thanks again everyone!
George (Winona MN FBO) reported that the runway extension project is going ahead in Winona (ONA). It will be a 3- year project financed 95% by federal money. A side note to the snowshoe hike. I took the Trail 90 out a week after the hike to see exactly how far we trekked! Well, the answer is 2.1 miles each way (4.2 total miles). No wonder we all (the dogs included) were tired!
