Excellent photos! I've been following on the FB. An epic journey to say the least!

See if I can post some photos...

Wow, great shots, like the one of the barns with the shadow on the dirt road, really appreciate those, pretty inspiring.
Next year………...

You guys are doing it right Kevin! Low and slow and taking your time. Looks like an awesome trip!

Low and slow and taking your time.

I agree, I'll never forget flying along at 1,500 AGL and telling my buddies, "whoa, smell those orange blossoms?!?" and them, at 4,000 ft, replying "huh?" If I can, 2,000 AGL max for sensory overload, above that you lose those smells, and the memories they will always trigger. My sense of smell can put me someplace quicker than a picture or sound. But that's just me.

What a kick, though, again, great shots, thanks.

Zenithguy, that is the truth! My most visceral flying ever was Quicksilvers in the summer.

Detailed the plane yesterday. Leaving for Oshkosh this morning. We're in the Maule booth and Booth 1138. See you all there!

Made it in last night after dodging no less than three lines of thunderstorms.

That rain last night sounded pretty bad from the hotel room

See you guys there-

That is a bummer, I was looking forward to having a close up look at your machine.

We are poised and ready to get to Osh tomorrow, gonna be a busy place for some country folk from little New Zealand but looking forward to it. [emoji41]

NZ Maule, OregonMaule and I are heading for New Holstein Wed for the Super Cub STOL comp, we have room if you want to go.

Sounds good Zenithguy, will see how things pan out - it'll probably be just me by then. Coming from our winter I think there's going to be some heat related attrition of family along the way [emoji6][emoji3]
Looking forward to putting some faces to names.

9 planes in our group...betting we can get the 4 of you in planes to fly over and back for certain! I have 1 seat open!

We are at Y51 practicing having way to much fun!

Inbound for Osh around 10-11 tomorrow...(Sunday)

I'm in! If others have no ride I can still take the SUV and take some

Hey AKT, looking forward to seeing your 180 in action!

Just realizing the juggling act it's going to be to get to all the things I want to - the Cessna 180/185 world gathering is on Wed eve also.

I'm hoping to be back for it in time. STOL event is at 3pm in New Holstien.

For me it's either flying or talking about flying and flying wins out....but like I said, I hope to make it back in time

Just printed my boarding pass. Arrive in Madison tomorrow at 2:30. Get the rental SUV and probably head straight to OSH. We will find you Kevin, Pops, Steve in Vintage camp area. I think thats what I read. I got your numbers in my phone.

Cheers...Rob
