Guys, are there any covered sitting/work areas at the field or are pop-up canopies recommended?

Pop up canopies recommended. No covered areas are on the field

Thanks Len.

Ricky, you do not need a Pop-up, there is a large air conditioned hangar with restrooms on the flight line with seating out side under roofing!
When are you arriving?

I think Tom McPherson and I will be at the field Friday morning.

Great! I have some ASH components for Tom!

Hey Rick, so sorry. I gave wrong info, I thought this was a question about the Muncy event we have the same dates in PA. Clover creek is awesome. Have a great time there.

Clover Creek is looking forward to having everyone this coming week! Rick as Swiss mentioned there is an air conditioned hangar with an overhang looking North over the runway. Can't wait to catch some thermals with incredible friends. Safe travels!

See you soon,
David

Clover Creek Aerotow was great! Perfect weather all days with a gentle rain shower at the end of one day. Thanks again to Tina, Ashley, David Skip and Gil for their efforts putting everything together! The tow pilots were Skip,Tom, David, Al, Christian, Gil and Jeremy(?).That's not much of a statement for all the work involved but is about as good as this feeble mind can conjur. I was pretty busy flying, especially the first day, so didn't get as many pictures as desired. Here are a few:









more to come...

Here are more! Looks like an eagle chasing the Pawnee! Tim and Don got some good flights with their Baby Bowlus.









More to follow...

Al, second picture, used his eFlite Cub to tow some of the smaller sailplanes. He did a great job!









David trimmed the grass some more!

We had a gentle rain shower at the end of one day's flying and got a treat for the eyes! It became a 'double' after a few minutes. That rainbow lasted quite a while! We were at the cook house looking east by south east.







More pictures...

Getting ready for dinner then the next days flying shown in pictures. A vulture flew low over the field wondering what was happening!









More pictures coming!

[ARUP]

Here they are!









Last pictures coming up!

[ARUP]

Here are the last ones I have. Man... did I have fun flying and socializing with everybody! If you've never been to Clover Creek, Tennessee, then make an effort to fly there! It is totally self contained. You can stay in the bunk house and meals are provided. There is room for camping and the night sky is amazing! The Milky Way is seen out there! The first picture is of Al.










The last picture is a very sad one... the field is empty. Goodbye!
