There’s also an onsite Ice House and Steak House if so desired.

I hope we see that again this year. Spectacular

Revolution Kites will be there in full force making thier Fly Wings dance in the air with percision and grace. You to can give it a try as well and get free instruction from the best in business, David Hadzicki. They won't let you leave until you know the basics and are well on your way in Club 38 program. As I told many of you, once you fly one you are more than likely taking one home :) Be sure and check out their new line of spiders. I truly love mine.

Apache Pass RV Park
http://www.apachepass.com/rv-park.html

FYI The RV Park is near full capacity last time I checked with all the local construction in the surrounding area. We should have plenty of sites available with water and electricity but no sewer if you choose. Please see the policy below.

***Attention RV campers*** Please read this new policy concerning special RV park pricing for RC events at Apache Pass:

- Special $10 per night pricing during our events will still be available...however, this will now be on a "FIRST COME FIRST SERVED" basis ONLY and you must be on-site to get this pricing. No reservations will be accepted at this rate.

- Reservations can still be made for the RV park, but they will be at the full rate (typically ~ $30 per night) and must be ...paid in advance.

- Camping "on the hill" is still the same...just $10 for a quick stop in the RV park for water fill/tank dump that should get you though the weekend. No reservations required/available for this.
