Rob, what the hell happened. Is there a story behind that comment that you can share around the campfire? I'll bring the whiskey!


No trouble.

It bugs me all the hassle to cross the border, flight plans, no landings on thousands of miles of deserted beaches, little 4' tall punks with M-16s, no good reason to screw with us. Go catch drug cartels or border jumpers. Then they locked up our Marine because he made a wrong turn. They don't respect our borders, or laws.

But like I said, go have fun and you will see the USA is the best place to fly and live. I did meet some really nice people too.

Cheers...Rob

Slow trip so far. Headwinds from Elko to Hurricane, UT where we overnighted at OsoLoco' place. On to Yuma where we are having lunch, then crossing the boarder shortly. ImageImageImageImageImageImage
