Me-Own Airstrip Work Party is CANCELLED

NMPA will provide volunteers for a work party to clear small trees from the runway periphery(bring chainsaws) and other work TBD by USFS.
There is no potable water at Me-Own, but there is a vault toilet. Cell service is minimal, depending on carrier. Do not rely on cell service or radio reception to close a flight plan.
The NMPA trailer will be set up at Me-Own to provide potable water; and dinner on Friday and Saturday, and breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Bring your own tie downs for aircraft, and plan to shut down on the runway and push back into parking. Rocks have NOT been cleared from beyond the runway. Tent camping or small RVs. Capacity is 15 airplanes.
