Just when the field started to recover from all of the rain, Tuesdays rain has given a setback to obtaining a full length runway.
We are back to only having 2/3 of runway width usable near pilot box and remaining 1/3 was too soggy to be mowed today. The McCoy ponds are back again too. Entry ramp end of runway & creek end of cross strip were mowed by Peter H today but due to the length of the grass has left piles of cut grass everywhere & unusable. Stage 1 of recovery but still a big head start. Thanks Pete.
Am hoping Willy's prediction of 90% chance of 5-10mm rain on Saturday doesn't come to fruition, otherwise our field will be unflyable again for the whole weekend. Fingers crossed.
