GO!!!!

And so we did.  Breakfast at 6.  Weather briefing at 6:30.  Pack the airplane, say hello to Tammy and Tim Hand who flew in to send us off.  Start the airplane, taxi out, take off and the rest is a blur.  Only kidding - sort of.  I know that we flew over Doris - no problem flying into there we followed 17 right in.  Flew by to continue and went to Elko, determined today was better than tomorrow was going to be, left Elko and flew to Pinedale.  I heard Elko was having a barbecue - dang we missed it.  Left Pinedale - we were worried about Pinedale because of the mountains and high density altitude but did it anyway.  Flew to Scottsbluff only to hear that it was a mile visibility in a heavy thunderstorm.  Miraculously it moved before we had to do our Fly-by.  We are in Scottsbluff for the night.  Rooms are hard to find but we have a reservation - oh wait, it's for tomorrow night (like I said we didn't expect to leave Pinedale in the afternoon).  Not to worry we are not sleeping in the crew room :)

Tomorrow is another day

  1. Been following you all day. Scottsbluff was a good choice. Looks like headwinds for rest of the race. Choose altitude and time of departure carefully.
