Had a tip planned from Eugene to Idaho today, that I postponed due to weather. 3 hours of IFR & not be able to get into the mountains, or sleep in the rain, helped make the decision. Will try again tomorrow. Gives me a good excuse to check the old posts on BCP.

The Rose Festival Low will be gone after the Grand Floral Parade. You should know better than schedule during the Rose Festival Low. It comes every year same week.

Dang it! You are right once again. I forgot about the wall just south of Albany that isolates Eugene from the normal people that live north of the crazy universe. I usually remember to check things like that.

If tomorrow is a scrub as well, we have to be back on Friday, Thursday will of course be nice. If that happens, I am going somewhere. Besides crazy that is. I'll keep in touch.

Snoopydoc and I were enroute to Idaho after the Chicken Strip, Hawthorn, Soldier Meadows and Pelican Point, but the weather turned us south when we fueled up in Ontario. So we headed to Murphy Hot Springs...only missed the hot springs by eight years, as that's the last time it was open. Spent the night at the strip watching thunderstorms roll over and around us.

Got up at 0430 in the morning and boogied to Wells under a low layer of clouds and rain. Got fuel and went to Salt Lake, figuring we'd see a friend and spend the night indoors. A weather briefing indicated we wouldn't make it out of SLC till Friday if we stopped, so we untied and flew to Moab.

That's where we are now, looking out the pilot lounge windows at rain and gusts to 31mph. The Fly Utah book just teases us with an endless number of backcountry strips it's too windy to go to, least for me.

With no break in the wind till at least Friday, we're going to rent a car and go hiking in Arches. There's worse things to do I guess, but we were getting mighty used to camping out of the plane

Hammer, you're gonna end up in Texas if you're not careful.

We went and hiked through some of the Arches about four years ago and that was a lot of fun. Have fun and stay dry.
