WestWind's Brown Boot Recreation Center
WestWind's Brown Boot Recreation Center
Brown Boot Field (KGE1), Medina, Texas
WestWind Airlines Vacation Resort and Meeting Center
This package contains a fictional location in the Hill Country of Texas about 25 NM east of San Antonio. It is located on Lake Medina, nestled up against a short bluff to the east to block those cold Gulf winds in the winter and bordered on the west by the lake itself.
Brown Boot Field (KGE1), elev. 1028 ft., located 23 NM west of San Antonio (close enough to fly into town for dinner on the Riverwalk) and 80 NM from Austin (close enough to catch some great live music, maybe Willie, on Sixth Street after dinner) in the Texas Hill Country. This 50 acre plot of lakefront property was built by the ATX board as a company vacation retreat as well as a meeting facility for planning, paid for on the backs of the hard working pilots of ATX.
The runway is 1280 x 80 ft and it with the taxiways and ramp are all gravel with excellent drainage. There are three T Hangars; Garen's is the one on the right with the tool box in it. There is also hand pumped 100LL in drums on the East side of the ramp, but don't overfill it before you get used to this runway. To the West is flat (the lake) and an easy approach and take off; to the East is a short bluff and trees you must clear, so make sure you've got your slow flight and short field take off/landing technique down pat. There is also a seaplane ramp leading to the beach so you don't have to leave your float plane in the water all night. Runway and taxiway is lighted at night and there is a compass locator (short range NDB) on the field for nav, and there is a textual approach procedure of sorts for those who insist on flying in that crappy weather. There is a helipad to the west of the ramp.
There are suites for staff and pilots (families welcome when we're not using it for meetings) north of the hangars; staff suites is the building closest to the water. Also to the North and West is a livestock barn with horses for riding and milk cows for fresh milk and cheese, made in the kitchen on the South side of the runway. I'm sure we also have chickens for fresh eggs but I don't have a chicken macro. Near the barn and livestock pens is the BBQ area with a pit, picnic tables, and volley ball courts and horseshoe pits. And nearby is a camping area for the kids with pup tents and a campfire that lights up after dusk. Also on the South side of the runway is the conference rooms (that converts to a small bar with a juke box at night) and a warehouse for storage.
Now don't shoot the deer outside the cabins; they are 'pet' deer and stay local, so we just gaze at them. Plenty of hunting just a few miles to the North. Take one of the Land Rovers or Lincoln Navigators we keep there to get out to the deer pasture; there's a map to it inside the conference building entrance on the bulletin board along with the code to the gate lock and a choice of a .240 Magnum Weatherby or a .270 Remington, both with 10x scopes, or a couple of open sight Winchester Model 66 Centennial Gold Plated Edition rifles for those who like to get close, and a selection of Bear bows and arrow equipment for the Sharp Stick hunters, when in season. Be sure to take one of the .44 revolvers and holster in case you run into a bunch of Javlina; what to do with the pistol will become very obvious after first seeking high ground, usually a tree. There are also several 12 gauge shotguns for dove, quail, and varmit hunting in the gun locker of the storage shed and also use the deer pastures for this hunting. If you look in the back of the gun rack you'll find two .22 cal bolt action rifles and two 4-10 shotguns for the kids to use. Our insurance does require they have a Texas Hunting Licence, which means they have attended a hunter safety course.
If you want to go fishing, grab one of the power boats at either dock; there is fishing equipment in the storage building and a worm bed behind the storage building; you'll see it, grab the spade and a small bucket and pick as many as you need. The approach end of Rwy 11 has a nice beach for swimming and canoes are also available; watch out for those old pilings; they have rusty nails in them. If sailing is your passion then get the sails and other gear out of the warehouse and have fun. Do watch out for landing aircraft, wheeled and float.
