Some kind of big meeting was going down in Driggs today. I could see the large corporate jets lined up on the airport tarmac from the highway so I drove into the airport a bit to grab a shot between hangers. There were also a couple of good sized passenger props around the corner.
Driggs has a sweet new runway that can handle these planes easily, pretty impressive for a small town and indicative of the plans that Huntsman has for the area. One or two corporate jets fly in every week, but I’ve never seen this many at one time.
I spotted a group of about a dozen well-dressed women making the rounds around town and I assume they’re the wives of the people in the big meeting. I also noticed a no vacancy sign at the Best Western, with not a single car in the parking lot. It’s pretty sad this is the best we can offer the big shots, we need a fancy new five-star hotel here. Oh wait, I’ll bet that’s why they’re here!
I just tried to find the links for the new proposed hotel, that I’ve posted before, and it appears they’ve been taken down. I sure hope Driggs isn’t blowing this one, we need it.
The sight of those rich women walking around today could be magnified by a hundred.
Steph asked where’s the other planes? On the other side of the one on the left…
