Title: Finally we are on the map.. Flying site
Post by: Bob Reeves on September 23, 2013, 07:27:17 AM

As some of you know the Tulsa Gluedobbers flying site is in my front yard. We bought this place 6 years ago and 911 has changed the address 3 times in that 6 years. This created a problem in that if you poke the address in your GPS it can't find it without knowing one of the old addresses. I ran an update on my Garmin last week, low and behold the map finally knows where we are. Yea...

If your GPS has the latest update you can poke "8215 E 586 RD Catoosa, OK" it and it will take you right to the Gluedobbers flying site.

PS might keep an eye on our web cam this weekend, our annual stunt contest will be underway.

Google Maps has that as the address of the "Landmark Missionary Baptist Church" instead of your place a block or two to the west.

The church is the next property to the west, if you find the church you are here.

Not sure what the deal with Google is, I'm just happy it gets you on the right street. For the last several years our address didn't exist on any map. Made for some interesting UPS and FedEx delivery issues. If you go to the satellite view I think you can see the circles and the roof of the church.

And just in case anyone is wondering, our engines (even unmuffled) do not bother the church at all. It's sound insulated for the highway noise.

Rain is about over, 1/2 hour or so for the front to clear the area. Should still have enough daylight to get the flights in. Only good thing is usually after a rain event like this the wind drops and we get really nice weather, tomorrow should be a really great day.

We only have half the circles of Brodaks but we could sure match 'em on fog this morning.

Thanks for the pictures Elwyn. I sure hated to miss this year even with the rain as I just missed seeing everyone. My wife has been down with sinus infection and we just could not make it.
