Flying-B for Breakfast
Written by Administrator   

Breakfast and Lunch on the Middle Fork of the Salmon.
Submitted by Paul Collins

With the demise of the Big Creek Lodge, the options for a cooked meal to the folks flying the FrankChurch are limited. At the recent yearly meeting of the members of the Flying B, several of us who are pilots presented the option of having the lodge at the Flying B help pick up the slack. After a discussion, the Flying B membership approved the opening of the lodge at the “B” for fly-in guests for both breakfast and lunch on an experimental basis.

The lodge will be open for breakfast from 8:30 am until 10:00 am for breakfast, and from 11:30 until 1:30 pm for lunch for fly-in folks. The charge will be 20 dollars per meal, and it is a hearty meal indeed. This includes a truck ride from the airport to the lodge and back. If you stay for breakfast and lunch, well, if you can eat that much, the total cost will be 40 dollars.
