Oh, all yee of short memory.

In the early days before electronic navigation, many barn roofs and
water towers had the names painted on them. If you got lost all you
had to do was find a 'sign' and circle it to read where you were and
go from there.

I rarely see these signs anymore with the GPS and other navigation
systems we have.

Jay, got a question- is your hotel's roof visible from the traffic pattern?

I only ask because I just remembered a place we used to fly over every day when
towing banners, they'd put a sign up on their roof for all (pilots) to read:

Ever think of doing anything similar on the Inn? Though, unless the roof is
relativly flat like this one, it could look kind of tacky from the ground.
