Enjoyed the visit Rob.

Cessna's still waiting on word from the prop shop, so for now I'll stay ground-bound here in the Wilds of Nevada.

When the boos aint looking over my shoulder, I'll be keeping an eye on your progress. Have a good flight.

Isn't there a spot around northwest NV, southeast OR, and northeast CA that you can see 5 different mountain peeks (10K+) from up in the air? I'm thinking Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, Mt. McKinny (??) are 3 of them. Not sure of the other two :-k

Back all safe at Home base. It smoothed out north of Reno. Very nice flight except for 10 mile headwind.

From Portland, on a clear day you can see Mt. Rainier, Mt. St Helens, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson. That's just from the ground. If you're in the air you can maybe see Three Sisters and Mt. Bachelor.

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Funny that you mention that, next week actually. I won't be coming in the 170 though :( . I might be up there in June a little before Johnson creek though and I'd be happy take you up so you can get some time in the old sky chicken.
