RVs Invade<br />
Petit Jean<br />
Mountain<br />
By Bill Schlatterer<br />
What a weekend! We thought last year was a “helluva” RV gathering with seventeen<br />
airplanes and campers but this year just about got out of control…. In a good way!<br />
The story is that by Friday evening, we had thirty-six airplanes and fifty plus<br />
folks on the ground at Mount Petit Jean Airport (KMPJ), sixteen plus tents set up like RV<br />
“Woodstock”, and the rest checked in at the Presidents Lodge just west of the airport. We had<br />
lots of couples and RV folks from ten states including Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,<br />
Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the Beyer family all the way from<br />
Nebraska! With the sun setting, airplanes were still arriving and tents were still going up<br />
but it was time to move the Friday night party to the Boathouse Pavilion at the Rockefeller<br />
Conference Center. The Foundation sponsored dinner and served up an absolutely first<br />
class BBQ to seventy-one hungry RVators! And boys and girls, it was no simple dinner….<br />
it was a BBQ banquet. Brisket, chicken, pulled pork, tater’salad, baked beans, chips, cool<br />
drinks, and more…. Then topped off with hot blackberry and apple cobblers and homemade<br />
ice cream! Great folks, great food, great airplanes… what a start to the weekend! Here is<br />
how it all went down.<br />
