Tuesday Nov 6 OL'baldy and I jumped up to 3500 ft and caught a 35mph
southerly wind and flew to KY Dam Stare Park with an average air
speed @ 100mph.
A little hairy
landing in Vandalia for fuel. I spent the night with my brother
Floyd. We left at first light Wednesday Fueling in Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arkansas, And stopping in Sikeston MO for lunch.
Laweries Cafe (home of the throwed roll) sent a van to pick us up.
What a meal!!!
Got back to KY
Dam before sundown. "A perfect day". We left at first light Thursday
and fueled in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama arriving back at
KY a little after sunset ( a headwind we didn't plan on for the last
100 miles). "Another perfect day".
Friday we slept
in, went fishing, and took Floyds neighbor a ride. It looked like
the weather was going to turn nasty so I packed up and left before
sunup Saturday flying up through Indiana and across IL to arrive
home by 2:30. "a perfect trip!!!" A good GPS sure helps your dead
reckoning confidence.
