Ready to head home - waiting on better weather

Well, we have done all the flying we planned to do up here in Oregon. Could do this forever! We just barely hit the highpoints.

Ready to head home, just need the weather to be a little better for my comfort. The weather in the Rockies and at home is just not the best. Not much on leaving good conditions for bad.

Plan is to check the weather every morning till we get what we need. No fun crossing the Rockies when the weather is bad. Plan is to cross the Rockies along I-80 just south of Bringham City, UT. Then follow I-80 to Laramie, Wy before turning SE for home.

Plane is packed and ready to head home. Me too!

I'm concerned that I will have trouble getting motivated to fly once back home. I've seen some beautiful country since leaving home. Cane fields and pine trees might be a little boring after all this. Nawww, it will be alright.

Met some fine folks here. Larry and Karen have been great too us. Thanks too much!

Stay tuned for trip home.

Friday's Trip to the Alvord Desert

Friday morning, after a good breakfast, we headed for the Alvord Desert. One Kolb Mark IIIC could not make the trip due to brake problems which were later fixed. The Alvord and the Steens Mountains are really something to see.

Video of Roger H flying and landing Larry's Firestar. I think he hit the touchdown point he was aiming at. Land in any direction in any place, just about. Good place for engine out practice.
