Good evening everyone! Well, Dave Bacon and I were up at El Mirage today, and so far, the Lake Bed is closed to traffic. HOWEVER, they have no issues with people camping on the side of the Lake Bed. So , the Fly-In is still planned for this week! We will have to drive the perimeter road - a nicely graveled road - that will take us from the Visitors Center to the West Side of Gyro Cove, near the SCTA Fence. People are camping out at other parts of the Lake already, just on directly ON the Lake. There is plenty of space to put a camper and our Canopies for the event off of the Lake Bed, and park gyros. People are running motorcycles on the Lake apparently, and we should be OK to taxi a gyro and take off, since we will not be doing any real driving on the Lake. They may also open the Lake by Friday, but no firm confirmation on that. And, while there may be a little water SOMEWHERE on the Lake, Gyro Cove is dry.
I will be posting an update tomorrow, as I will be going up there again tomorrow to get specific instructions/pictures and video as needed so everyone can see exactly where we will be having the event at, and how to get there. I will put all this info on our website and provide a link to that here once I get it all put together.
I look forward to seeing you at El Mirage for KBFFI 2022!
