Stan sent me a couple of progress pics, for the curious.

If you’d like to donate toward the project, please do so here: https://crestlinesoaring.org/product/ajx-shade-structure-donations/

We’ve raised close to $18,000 so far, but more will be needed to complete all three phases. 🙏

I’ve been taking some progress photos on weekends. A lot has been done so far. Thank you all for doing the hard work! 🙏

Cool! That’s Stephen on a tandem and Tyler.

You mean something like this? Stan and I donated videos of ourselves to get critiqued. Keep in mind this is not my launch & land MO! 😆 We just used two of my worst examples.

It seemed to me that most of us at the meeting were pro-camping, we just need to figure out some of the finer details. We need to make sure that all the campers understand they need to keep the area clean and not abuse some of the electricity/power privileges (which has been a big problem in the past). I don’t think most of us are in favor of extended live-in camping at AJX, so part of the details we need to figure out is the max days someone can stay. As long as the campers pay their membership dues, pick up after themselves (and after their dogs) and don’t overstay their welcome by trying to establish permanent residence in our parking lot, most of us are happy to have them & actually miss having them around!

I don’t think these guys are pilots. They’ve been drinking hard liquor since 8:00AM this morning (I’m talking big glass bottles) and they have been asked to leave. Unfortunately they’re not in any kind of hurry to pack up and are still up there partying on. There’s beer cans all around. Not cool.

I’m not one to call the cops on overnight campers, especially if they keep the site clean, but that’s not the case here. I called the sheriffs office early this morning to have someone go up there and check them out, but so far no progress.

Even if they were visiting pilots, they are not being respectful of our site, and what plans could you possibly have for the rest of the day if you start off with that much alcohol on a weekday morning? 🤷🏼‍♀️
