It is difficult to not talk to someone as you hang on to him or her and do a mutual 180 to swap positions. After it got dark, we explored the inside of the Lodge. Just off the great room is a well-stocked aviation library with both books and videos. I could have spent the weekend, and the next few weeks right there. The basement is unfinished, an excellent idea.
Half is simply open, with room for kids to run.
There was plenty of space for a pool table, ping-pong table and some exercise equipment. There is a separate room with four computer-based flight simulators. One was considered off limits as it was set up for some serious instrument training, but almost all members of all the families used the rest almost all the time we were in the building. More rubber band-powered planes. On rising Saturday morning, we awoke to the sight of tendrils of fog over the runway at Pioneer airport.
