Yep, I concur on that one. When I landed in Iowa to drop Mark off there was nobody around (not surprising, considering the gusty conditions) and the gas pump was shut off. Fortunately the door was unlocked and I figured out which breaker turned it on. The fridge was full of drinks and candy, and the courtesy car key was on the counter with a note that said "use it if you need it, and call xxx.xxx..xxxx if you need anything else". It was a nice building with two cushy sofas for sleeping on. It was typical of small airports, but sometimes you just get stuck if you land without enough fuel to get you to something bigger. Doug Steen found himself in that situation on the way to SNF one year in his Luscombe. The weather was so bad nobody showed up at the airport for days. I was going to drop in on another small one in Kentucky, but thought better of it on the descent and changed to a larger one 8 miles out of my way, and that worked out well...
