I hope to get to land at JC, timing of my Daughters graduation does not put me there during the BCP or SC flyins!!

How about an impromptu MeetNGreet out at Wray, or over in NE/WY?

Got it.
Maybe your arrival in Colorado would be a reason to have a flyin?

A few others and I will be flying and fishing around Glacier N.P. in Montana from the 19th to the 22dn, if you happen to be in that area.

The southern leg will take you near the "New Fly-In Restaurant in SW Missouri." It is open from 0600-2200. It would make a good fuel and breakfast, lunch, or supper stop. [email protected] if you need more information. They will be spraying. Five Pawnees and a turbine Ag Cat. Jumpers on the weekend. Very active grass strip.

Rain rain go away...
The rain has left here... no tornado at my house and miles away...
Rain is in TN where the Tracy's are.
We will be heading to Beaumont on Monday... Monday ... Monday...
Looking forward to seeing some of you...

You gonna stop in Wray, CO? I'll be up in Spearfish, SD (KSPF) on Thursday.

A link to my pictures on facebook. I think you can view them all as they are public,

We had a tough first two nights. First we stopped at a beautiful grass strip to camp, no facilities, but an open metal T-hanger to put the tents in. Then the wind came a howling.. and the banging started, and one of my tiedowns came loose, and the T-hanger started losing its metal panels... then dawn and everything was great for leaving...
The next night after a great day of flying and geocaching at all the Three Corners Bill could find we tried sleeping in the FBO at Clayton Colorado, where the lights came on with movement... not much sleep again.
Then off around Moriarty NM to avoid smoke from fires, made it to Nokia Dome in the heat of the day. It took me 4 tries to get a perfect landing... practicing GoArounds on the mesa.. no problem with any other landings. I'm going with the I was tired excuse!

Some numbers for those interested. 16 days. 70 hours. 350 gallons of 100LL. Average price $5.74/gal. 101 landings (I skipped a couple Bill did - to hot to take off again!). 1 GRADUATE!

First quickie to show Tracy Farm, Idaho. No Tracy's own it anymore darn.

Video of the entire trip.

Wish that I could have met you when you were out this way Diane. Recognized many of the strips in your video. Garden Valley was the first back country strip I landed in ID back in '07. Landed there again last year ('12) for only the second time.
Got to meet B Tracy and his wife at Venango for breakfast. Looks like you folks got to see a lot of the West!
