There's no fun flies scheduled on the Bcka website.
Either way they don't usually show up till noon or later ,so mornings should still be ok.

The only time there may be a problem is if you know who decides to stake the big a$$ kite in the middle as usual.

We fly with or around most of the bcka anyways!

I think I might have to hit GP early like 6:00 am
Always nice to fly in an empty park till the hoards show up.

I don't know about that. I checked the web site and there is something going on at White Rock beach not GP.

Figured out the problem: they have different information depending on which button you click. If you click events then fun flys the drop down menu, there is no listing for GP. If you click events and click it again once the drop down menu appears, you see a calender for April with fun flys listed for GP this weekend. I doubt many people will show up.
