The owner of the campground bought a small sport plane. These kinds of planes are smaller than the normal private planes but larger than an ultralight flyer. You can fly "sport planes" without having to pass a tough medical exam. They fly pretty high and fairly fast just like their bigger cousins. The downside is these planes are very small. They look like they have a backseat but you would have to be a pygmy to fit in the back.
The owner bought the plane that has wheels. Jim saw the one with floats and loved it. Too bad these little planes cost over $100,000. Jim will get to take a ride with the owner and even get to fly it. We think the owner is trying to bribe us to come back next year by offering Jim the chance to go flying.
The new marina is coming along -- we've lost count of how many barge loads of rock they have dumped into the water to make the new pier.
