on the edge of the White Mountains; my mother- and father-in-law live a few miles away and we&#8217;ve been flying into the airport since the days of the Mighty Archer. \u00a0So when we went looking for a nice grass strip to share with our RV friends, 1P1 was a shoo-in.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had a lot of rain in the last week and I was slightly concerned that the field might be too damp for RVs, especially the nosedraggers. \u00a0But there was enough wind and sun today to dry everything nicely, and the field was in good shape.<\/p>\n<p><a
