The Hangar

March 17/17  Weather today bright and sunny, 80 and low of 60
Today we were on our way to Fredericksburg to check out the airport.   We took the back way which means a scenic route on the bike, and yes it is.   Most of the way is through ranches and we are loving these old barns which seem to be melting back into the land.

the barn roofs are showing their age

look at that old ranch

Every time we take White Oak road we see deer running into the road.   So you have to be on the watch.  Again today.   We slowed down to a crawl since you are not sure which way they will run and jump.   You know the saying "a deer in headlights".

then the deer decide to cross back and forth,,, yikes

We haven't found these setups in Canada but in the U.S. we find these really neat diners at small town airports.  We heard there is a hotel and 1940's style rail car diner at the Fredericksburg airport.  So we have to go.  Sure enough there is a really cool diner which looks out over the runway.  While we were walking in an old red bi-plane took off.   The pilot had the old leather aviator helmet on with goggles!!!    After we walked into the lounge in the hotel, it was beautiful.  This is pretty cool.

entrance into the airport - hotel and diner are by the tower
