What route do you local guys take to Caveman? I'll be flying the Bonanza with the family so we were thinking of breaking up the trip out into two parts.
I was thinking of launching from KSNS Thursday afternoon and overnighting at Kern Valley (L05). Been there once but never camped there. I know they have a nice grass area for camping and the cafe for breakfast sounds good. After that it looks like head for Vegas and then it's seems like a pretty tame route across the desert past St. George, Bryce, and into Moab.

How have you guys been getting there?

Well ill probably be going at 15-17K and hopefully catch some winds! One fuel stop and then caveman!

Where will your one stop be? Tonopah?

I'll probably stop in Richfield, Milford or Beaver for a top off. Might even go all the way to canyonlands to see the arches! We'll see!

I have shorter legs, I can't comfortably make it across the border into Utah unless I get a good tailwind. Last year I flew to Hawthorne, then Beaver, then Caveman. I like both of those stops because they have dirt runways available so I dont have to waste my bushwheels on asphalt. Also Beaver was much cheaper on fuel then the other nearby places, will have to check prices again this year.
