STAY ON THE DRIVEWAY!!

I received a rightfully upset message this morning from the landlord stating that if people could not remain on the driveway we should leave. It is frustrating that we are yet again dealing with the issue of people not staying on the driveway when going out to the flying field.

The driveway is muddy, it happens after rain and especially this time of year, and we all know that. Tractors use the drive as well and the landlord is not happy about that. The mud is never more than an inch deep and there is no threat to sinking in and getting stuck. Regardless of any argument, stay on the driveway.

Mike
