[Wing] Nelson

[Hamilton McClymont]

I drove from Calgary to Vancouver today and barely saw the mountains.  The
Chase fire was billowing smoke that carried all the way to the prairies.
Ten miles west of Chase, it cleared up, and the rest of the drive was
marvellous.  It was the clearest blue sky I'd seen since I left Arlington
for Wisconsin June 10.  We had lots of Mississippi moisture in the midwest
during the past 5 weeks, and more than our share of thunderstorms.  It's
good to be home.

  Mike,



  If all goes well I expect to attend your flyin on the Saturday, not sure
about staying over.  I talked to 3 other RVer’s at the Kamloops breakfast
this morning and at least one wants to attend.  Two of them were from Vernon
and they are having their young eagles day on the 6th. so presents a problem
for them.



  Note to George McNutt, I may intercept and attack from the sun so be
warned, watch front and back or you buy lunch!



  Hope we don’t have smoke on the 6th. like we had today.  Thank goodness
for GPS.  Was trying to stay south of the Chase fire and it was darn near
IFR from 5000 to 7500 feet.



  Ken

  Hi,

       At the Nelson Pilot's Ass upcoming meeting next wednesday aug 20th.I
will be asked whether I can give any indication of the RV's that maybe
attending the fly-in sept 6th and 7th.It would be extremely helpful  if
those planning to attend could let me know before then.I know of the four
from the Fraser Valley but have no further indications.

  Thanks

  Mike Freund
