Airplane Camping at Kern Valley, CA

Who says Mooneys are small?! I loaded mine to the gills with firewood, fishing rod and tackle, camping gear, food, water, and even my R/C glider.

Being a weekday and so early in the season, I had the whole place to myself.

The airport charges you $9/night to stay in the site. Well worth it for such a great location. Here you can see the homemade natural "shower".

The outhouse, which I basically never use (it usually stinks) wasn't that bad this early in the season. My buddy Ron flew up for the afternoon in his Skylane, and we flew the glider a bit.
