ELP

I had these friends who said they liked to hang out at some watering hole called the Lamplighter?...they also told me Rods and Wheels was good too.

I know I already piped in about this but each has its plus and minus'. Born and raised in MI, did my flight training there and I miss it. Michigan's summers are the best as there is so much to do recreation wise. Its a different type of flying up there like Pilotyip said as the weather is a bit more challenging than the standard ELP clear skys. But with college loans still chasing me, the low cost of living in ELP has certainly helped the pocket books. Its a nice change of life living down here as its laid back, nice weather all the time and just something different than the midwest i've grown up in.

D-You have way too much time on your hands! Don't you work???


P.S. I vote YIP. I'm not into the senioritas and I like a little weather now and then. Keeps things interesting.

2 of the big 3 automakers are shutdown for retooling now so its kinda slow so yes I have lots of time on my hands.

BTW A$$clown, We may not have the nice beaches of SJU but there is still plenty of sand around the KELP...don't sell us short.

All you need is one of those kiddie garden pools and a bucket of beer.

It's called a desert. Look into it...

It does snow in El Paso.

Remember the Sun Bowl about 10 years ago?

There are some astonishingly beautiful women in ELP

THAT is a bold statement. Where the hell were they when I was there?? I spent a little time "based" in ELP and I wasn't too impressed. Seemed like a generally boring and unsophisticated place. The weather was a no-brainer, and that was definitely a nice change from the midwest base.

YIP? Don't know much about being based there - the only thing I remember about YIP is clearing customs in the middle of the night and occasionally catching a ride to the local Denny's in the Jet Center crew van.

Hey Shan, didn't you leave Michigan for Eagle in San Juan? Or are you at O'hare?
