What a great trip to Emmet County Sportsmen’s Club last weekend… that is, once we got there.
Our flight left at 5 AM on Wednesday to Chicago, and we landed at 8 AM. So far, so good. Our flight to Traverse City was at 10:30 and we got there by 11:30, got the car, and drove an hour-and-a-half to Harbor Springs.
Sounds good, but about 9:30 this massive black cloud came over the airport and turned a bright sunny day to nighttime and it poured for two hours. It was raining so hard you could not see the next terminal or the runway so they shut down the airport and cancelled our flight.
There were 3:30 and 5:00 flights, but no seats were available so they rebooked us on the 9:00 PM flight to arrive at 11:00 PM. Then we had to get a car and drive an hour and a half to the hotel.
Two options: either try to go standby or rent a car and drive the six hours, so the United customer service lady said go standby since other people on these flights will not make it.
So we did, and we got on the 3:30 PM flight that really left at 7:00 PM. But it was all good. We got to the hotel at 11:00 PM, went to bed, and met the Emmet County Board Members at 7:15 AM the next morning.
A big thumbs up to United for getting us there with our luggage under total chaos.
Now for the clinic. What great folks and a beautiful course with a lot of terrain to work with. This was our first time in, and we had four days of learning how to improve their shooting.
Several students had never had a shooting lesson. They were all self-taught but they all accepted the OSP system. By the end of the day, everyone was shooting great.
