On the River RV Park is a treasure. My wife and I come here each year to visit Boise and Garden City and ride the Greenbelt. Having been born (1947) and raised in Boise I very much appreciate having such a lovely spot to come back to and enjoy the town. Certain things make for a great livable city. Condos replacing RV Parks is not one of them. There must be a balance.

I know that you can charge a higher fee for the RV park. Condos at this time are a distinctly bad idea. Upgrading the Greenbelt paving is a much better idea. My family helped build Boise and Ada County (Ralph J Davis men's store in Boise), Idaho Hardware, my great grandfather's bank before the Depression.

I realize that the county needs to increase its income and that means better value for its property, but the overall value to the community of a RV Park offsets the merely accounted for income stream from one piece of property. Let's renegotiate a lease for the RV Park so that it continues here in Boise and Garden City. Thanks for your consideration.

Less than twenty four hours later I go the following back from commissioner Sharon Ullman:

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. I believe you have misunderstood our intentions with regard to the On the River RV Park. We are vacating the park at the end of September so we can clean it up, renovate it, then reopen it as an RV Park. We have no intention of leasing the entire facility to an operator for only $50 a year like the previous 20-year lease, and will not allow visitors to stay permanently, given that this is an RV Park and not a mobile home park.

The fair operation runs as an enterprise fund and does not receive tax dollar support. The revenue received by the operation of the RV Park will go back into the fairgrounds facility. It will not be used to pay for general county expenses. For additional information about the RV Park situation, you are welcome to see my blog, at www.sharonu.com/blog .

The line from the scooter winch is routed to a pulley that is situated 1000 meters away. The line then goes around the pulley and taken back to the winch, the student will then be attached to the towline. This allows the instructor to chat with the student on the take off and more importantly be right by their side on their first few tows into the air.

After months of flying with my Go-Pro I finally got to the point where I had to do something about starting my recordings from a distance. I am flying with two, sometimes three Go-pro’s at a time and having to edit it afterwards is a real pain.

Check this you tube clip of the remote system I made for my Go-Pro,

Now I can put my camera on my wingtip and start and stop recording as I wish, wonderful!!
