Garland Airport (8M8) RWY 18-36 5047'x75' Asphalt,
good condition. Parking North end and West side. Unattended, no phone.
Verizon cell phones work here, Nextel does not. No landing fee. Garland
actually sold airport but still provides it with shuttle service. About
a 5 minute ride. Airport is totally fenced in with 12' anti-deer fence.
Shuttle drivers have the combination to locked gate.

I just found the best Bar-B-Que in North Texas. I
flew with a friend to Stephenville, Texas, Saturday because so many
local pilots were jaw'n about the Hard Eight Bar-B-Que pit near the
Stephenville airport (SEP). It was even featured on the EAA Wings to
Adventure national aviation TV program (Episode 1)last year.
The short version... yep, the best!
Rather than me taking a lot of web space telling about the restaurant, I
will just add this link for you to read yourself:

The airport has three golf carts for driving on a dirt kart path a short
distance to the restaurant, but we called the telephone number posted on
the side of the FBO's building and in less than five minutes, a pretty
little blonde in a pick-up truck pulled up and took us to BBQ heaven. I
did notice we used about 400 more feet of runway for the take off after
eating there!!!
