Be Careful Who You Follow

[Steve Pierce]

The gravel bar was plenty long and seemed plenty hard. The landing was fine but after camping and trying to take off the next morning the small solid Maule tailwheel and the 700x6 tires didn't work so well.

But we had a solution back at the hanger.

Adapt and overcome.

Yes, I watch others at strange landing strips too see if they survive, before I consider following.

Steve, what size tires did you put on it to get out?

I had a set of 26" Goodyears at the hanger so we mounted them on my old Pacer wheels. Had a set of Bushwheels but he wasn't ready to spend that kind of cash yeat. He just needed a little more floatation to keep from breaking through. It was plenty smooth.

Thanks Steve, appreciate your help, had a blast!! That was my first off airport landing and I will remember it into our nursing home years. I have been in discussions with my financial manager (wife) to see when funds could be allocated for said bush wheels ��

And Tom and Eddie (our supervisor) for making it an outstanding trip. Got to ride in two super cubs that day two, can't beat that either!

Post your take off video Wes. Lee and I had a blast.
