I am not sure who is giving you the negative feedback, but I have had
some of the best experiences in gliding there. Hassle free,
professional, and really nice folks. I have been there twice. While

Good luck.

Don't know if MM is the best in the West, but he is certainly GREAT FUN

about the other folk at Minden.
