Default New launch location at Bong

Our usual location is no longer allowed.

The dog and hunt clubs have more pull in this government (they also carry guns).

We are now moved to the area east of access road "F" on the runway next to the ponds.

Presently there are no improvements to our new launch location, the plans for the improvements are in the hands of the DNR.

So we are going to have to make the best if it....

So, let me get this straight. They changed the location but not the name?

Same state park, different area of it. Not a good thing for us.

Sounds like you're getting the same treatment that we got at VOA a few years back.

Issues with those who feel they are more entitled than you? These people are brutal, and won't be satisfied until they've chased us out entirely. The worst part is that they have allies in high places - us not so much.

Because we're noisy and scare puppies and soccer players.

Meh. We could complain that some of our members have a phobia of horses, puppies and soccer players... level the playing field a tad.
