2011 OOBE Field Chili Run?

pokitetrash - 2-1-2011 at 05:10 PM

Anyone up for the second annual OOBE Field Chilli Run?
OOBE Field, Beach Island, SC. How about the last weekend in January the 29th & 30th?

I'll bring the chilli (to guarantee wind!!), corn bread, and warm drinks. You bring your whole kite range cause you never know what we'll get there. No kite fort this year but if someone nearby has a camper to bring and loan for warming up and facilities (It ain't called the Chilli Run for nothing...) that we be awesome.

OOBE Field (Google Maps)

OOBE Field, Beech Island Sc

GPS to intersection of Storm Branch Road and Cowdry Park Road, Beech Island. SC . The place is called "Storm Branch Equestrian Facilty" for all the non kiters...:no:

Area Weather (Pretty accurate for OOBE)

Would love to come hang and fly with you Chris, But I'm going to be saving my pennies for JIBBE!

pokitetrash - 2-1-2011 at 05:24 PM

rocfighter - 3-1-2011 at 08:10 AM

Man I wish we could make the trip. Sounds fun,hot, spicey& smelly!!

BeamerBob - 3-1-2011 at 09:12 AM

Did someone say "cookies"? :ticking:

pokitetrash - 3-1-2011 at 10:29 AM

My parents told me that when I was a kid I needed to hang a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me, now I guess it's cookies to get people to play with me! Oh well, I'm not above putting in a order to have some Aunt B's Chocholate Chip Cookies on hand...

rocfighter - 3-1-2011 at 02:01 PM

Your making it more tempting now!!

shehatesmyhobbies - 3-1-2011 at 03:02 PM

shehatesmyhobbies - 4-1-2011 at 07:50 PM

Well I am now out of the running, duh was thinking kiting, not thinking the date. The 30th is my youngest daughters Birthday. She will be 6. Can't miss that one! If the date for her party is not then, I will still try to make it.

tridude - 8-1-2011 at 05:54 AM

pokitetrash - 8-1-2011 at 06:40 AM

Yea! I have to go to a funeral today. Im gonna try to make it out sometime though.

tridude - 14-1-2011 at 12:36 PM

Po,

Is this still on? Nate is headed to Jupiter, Florida for the Jupiter Kiteboarding Invasion competition that weekend and I may head that way. Hows the lineup looking?

pokitetrash - 16-1-2011 at 06:35 PM

So far no response other than you! It turns out though that I have to move over the next few weekends getting our house cleaned out to put it on the market.. . We have 2 men and a truck coming that weeekend so It turns out , I was just about to bail on the meet up myself. Anyone who still wants to come, please do. Tridude, your an Aiken Kite Club /OOBE Field member so you can host anyone new there if you come. Sucks but we can try for Feb maybe. It will still be defiantely "Chili" enough??

tridude - 16-1-2011 at 06:40 PM

yeah Feb sounds good and Id hate to miss Nates competition

rocfighter - 17-1-2011 at 06:29 AM

Hey maybe in Feb. we can make it. Let us all know a date and we will see what we can do. To bad the new school The Kidd goes to doesn't have Feb. vacation:ticking:

knkmannthey - 19-1-2011 at 03:01 PM

pokitetrash - 29-6-2011 at 01:31 PM

Yea! Let me check the polo schedule. We might end up calling it the "Lightning Dodge" that time of year but we get alot of great wind just before the bolts hit, almost every day!

tridude - 29-6-2011 at 08:32 PM

knkmannthey - 1-7-2011 at 07:22 AM

knkmannthey - 2-7-2011 at 03:44 PM

Have you heard anything from Kitedog in a while? I u2u him in Jan and never heard anything from him.

pokitetrash - 2-7-2011 at 03:50 PM

No, not in a while. We need to get him away from work!

tridude - 2-7-2011 at 04:38 PM

knkmannthey - 2-7-2011 at 06:03 PM

I be open to join your guys at oobe for some kite fly as long as it not this week or next as I be in Oregon next weekend and will bring back my 7m bullet from letting my dad borrow it. I need get my atb and never flown 3m hornet out. I'm not sure but I might get some kite bugging in on the west coat next weekend or at least some static power kite flying.

knkmannthey - 16-8-2011 at 12:25 PM

Im trying to figure out the best time when the polo isnt going strong, prolly around November though. Then we just have to deal with individual horse riders hanging about the property. If it aint Plovers at the Beach, its Snow Birds on the field!!

knkmannthey - 16-8-2011 at 07:08 PM

No problem just checking

tridude - 18-8-2011 at 05:25 PM

ready when you are Po.........................

knkmannthey - 18-8-2011 at 05:42 PM

do you fly there more in the winter?

Actually, the wind is better in the summer but its freaking hot so I'm not real motivated when its 100+ and often comes with afternoon thunder storms. Been spanked a few times from sudden pre -storm gusts. I fly often thru the winter. I try to hit the field at least once a week, however I often get there only to find people riding around on horseback so I have to wait them out. Damn Snow Birds... :ticking:

tridude - 4-10-2011 at 08:05 AM

are you flying this weekend? Strong on the coast out of the ENE, perfect 6m Pulse 2 sandbar day................if youre flying and Im up to it after surgery I could make it to OOBE.........................

pokitetrash - 4-10-2011 at 08:44 AM

Thinking of camping this weekend. If not ill definitely fly some. Only problem is now its polo season and horse riders throughout the day most weekend days. I almost always fly for a while and then have to wait on riders and then repeat.

tridude - 4-10-2011 at 04:02 PM

let me know.......Sunday pm or Monday is a federal holiday..................Ill have stitches in the neck and a covered hole from trach removal but other than that I should be good to go......................Id like to have a go on your 8m Pulse 2 and I have a couple of toys you need to try (foils of course)......................:rolleyes::rolleyes::lol::lol:
