I picked up a bag of trash while I was there, mostly brass. With the price of ammo these days, you'd think guys would pick it up. Anyway, sorry I missed you.

SATURDAY JANUARY 12, 2013
Hey Wayne: I flew right over the top and did a circle at 6500MSL. It was about 3:30PM. I was on the way back to Glendale with a friend who isn't into mountain dirt yet.

The Route


We had a great lunch at La Pasada. Neat spot, and lots of history. Right on Route 66.

Good call Gary!

The airport was founded and paid for in 1929 by Howard Hughes Transcontinental Air Transport as a transcontinental air route for Hughe's aircraft company (later TWA). The airport was paid for by Howard Hughes and designed by Charles Lindbergh while on his honeymoon. Lindbergh stayed at the La Posada in Winslow
Eagles song Take it Easy talks about Winslow.
A few snow showers on the way to Winslow. Cold outside, 10* at 8500

Lee and Gary (shortfielder) ready for lunch.

Seeing the famous spot



Cheers...Rob

Unfortunately, I have to work for a living still. Also, I took the generator out yesterday for a rebuild so the airplane is down.

Gary wanted a new 180, but went with a helicopter instead.


Watched the original Batmobile still owned by the creator George Barris, sell for 4.3 million.

Fun in the sun is over. Now back to reality. Cold and shoulder surgery. It has been a great time.

The wx for the flight home looks good. Light winds, sun, but cold. The SPOT will be on and 406PLB in the pocket. Watch my back please. I'll check in at the end of the day.

Route, hope to be wheels up 0730-0830 MTZ


Cheers...Rob
