It's official. I paid my money and joined the club today. Got a briefing on the club rules. Nothing that struck me as weird except I can't land on unpaved strips near mountains until I get a backcountry rating. That involves getting 100 hours of flight time and taking some more instruction. I don't think I am too interested in back country flying...except Garden Valley qualifies, and I think it would be fun to fly there. I also can't fly to Murphy... ever. Apparently that strip eats propellers. It looks paved, but it's not.. just some grey rock.
For every 2 hours of flight time I get an overnight stay. That should work out fine. My instructor, who I have not met, is a Boise fireman in his late 30s. He has flown commercially, but now just is a fireman and CFI--Certified Flight Instructor. Hope to hear from him this weekend. Working on a cool set of headsets on Ebay. David Clark H10-13.4. http://www.davidclark.com/HeadsetPgs/h10-134.htm, Just like the big boys use.
Anyway, I have the combination to the office and ramp, my flight kit (books, logbook, study materials, and a couple of navigation thingies), and a sticker on my Rodeo.
