Restaurant on one side and bar on the other, restaurant was the one and only place to sit down eat back then 70-75. Member getting the all you could eat catfish as a kid with parents. Baws from all over would get wrecked by the Zwolle mafia on Saturday nights in the bar and some kilt.
Dads boss missed that strip in a King Air mid 70's that killed his wife and pilot. Bend still had standing timber back then.

We had a camp just down the road when I was a kid. I remember seeing Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston and all those guys sitting at a table in the restaurant. Me and some buddies decided to try the bar when we were in high school. I walked in first, got halfway in and noticed no one followed me in.
I had forgotten about that plane wreck.

King Air is alot of plane to get on that strip. It was kinda sketchy in a 172 size plane. Uncle taxi'd across the road to fill the plane with fuel.
