| The Longhorns are coming soon! |
Our Longhorn cattle are coming soon from their pasture in SD. We've been waiting on fence building, water lines to be built, and time to haul them. Now it's time!
|
We'll be bringing a variety of Longhorns including steers, one bull, and some calves. They will be pastured right along the Longhorn RV and Motel driveway year around.

| Getting our advertising up to speed |
The last two weeks have been construction again, with the paving company here paving the driveway, around the shop, office area, etc.. We had some planning to do to give the RV and motel guests a clean way in and out, and it worked pretty well. They are in th cleanup stages now and I'll have pictures before too long.

| Flying the Grizzly Cub over West Texas |
I rode the airlines down to TX last week and flew the Grizzly Cub up here to Dubois. Scot, the builder that helped us rode along and we had a great time. I had a knee replaced a month ago and it was a little 'touchy' getting that leg in and out of the GC, as well as sitting there that long.
We had a tailwind all the way, but had weather to wait on two different places. End results were that we didn't make the trip in one day. We had to overnight in Cheyenne and wait till after noon for things to clear.
The Grizzly Cub is a radical, highly modified Super Cub, built with the best parts and mods that have come about over the years of using Super Cubs in Alaska and bush flying. We opted to make it experimental so we could be free to do high horsepower, constant speed prop, and other neat things.
We just finished renovating it's hangar, with a new hydraulic 40' door, fully insulated, rewired, etc...
