Hi All;
May be a little early on posting this event, but maybe some would like to put it on their summer calendars. July 1st to July 4th, But feel free to come earlier. I usually get there on Tuesday.
During the weekend of July 4, Starbuck, Minnesota (D32) hosts a fly-in/campout in conjunction with the local Heritage Day celebration. They welcome all to fly in and camp under your wing at the beautiful 2500x200 foot airstrip. Airport facilities include a very modern AD building with restroom and shower facilities, kitchen and lounge facilities. Lake Minnewaska is located across the road from the airport with swimming and beach facilities. A restaurant is located on the water's edge with full meals and all beverages. Floatplanes are welcome at the beach area.
Village of Starbuck is about a 3/4 mile walk or bike ride north of the airport with restaurants and coffee shops and stores. Very scenic area on 7700 acre Lake Minnewaska. Located in west central Minnesots about 110 miles west/northwest of twin cities on the T-C sectional. D32
I have been attending this campout for more than 20 years and always have a very good time here. The local people are very friendly and aviation oriented. We have typically had 18 to 25 airplanes camping plus some local RV units. Pancake breakfast on Saturday usually serves more than 1200 breakfasts.
I will post more information as the time comes. PM me if you would like more info. Sure would like to see a flock of Maules there.
Did I mention floatplanes are welcome???
