I saw a video about a pilot who had to make a landing in a farmers field and now flyers land there every year and celebrate with the farmers. He mows the grass down to make a nice runway for all of them. Steven Coonts wrote a book about taking his son and flying cross country called Canibal Queen - a good read. jack
Darn right. There's some great videos on the net of guys with that set up landing in crazy places, like the saddle between two mountains. So much fun it should be illegal.

That looks like one heck of a vacation - Barnstorming needs to return (as Jack suggests above)
