Cappy has been busy. See attached Flight Plan.
The plan is to meet up at KSAV and launch at 5 minute intervals.
Day one fuel stop is KLWV. If not meeting up at KSAV you can meet us here.
After fuel and other breaks, launch at 5 minute intervals for KSUX where we
will
overnight. Hotels and cars at Souix City later.
Day two we fly to Mt. Rushmore, fly around it several times then make a fuel
stop at KCUT.
Quote: | From KCUT we fly to the Devils Tower, fly around it several times and then
on to
|
KSHR. Then we fly the NE side of the Bighorn Mts to U68 and follow Bighorn
Lake to
KCOD. This is truly one of the most beautiful places we could ever want to
see.
I have tried to structure the flight plan to in most cases avoid fairly high
terrain,
controlled airspace and MOA's. Also is easy on the bladder, lowest fuel
cost
and best security for overnight.
Plug it into to AOPA's real time planner or whatever you use and let me know
what you think.
Remember to be assured of a hotel room with the group the deadline for in or
out is April 27.
We have rooms for June 9 thru June 12 so if the wither is Lenish on day one
we should still
have time to see all of Yellowstone. If you want, you can leave a day early
or whenever you
have seen enough.
Cappy and Lynne plan to come back the same way along the Bighorn Mts and
then on to
Denver CO, Hobbs NM, Houston TX and back to Charlotte. Tag alongs are
welcome.
Questions, Comments, Suggestions or Kudos are welcome.

Thanks for doing all this research, Cappy. I really hope we can be in on this one. I've booked the time off.

Everyone make the correction. Cappy

I don't know what map you are looking at? It may be 133 miles to the center of the park.
But I'm told by several sources including the NPS that Cody is 52 miles from the East entrance to the park.
You are correct about the mountains. But if you look at the route I planned, we can safely make
it without going above 7,500. Check WAC CF-17.
The best alternate is the last one you flew over. With legs of 2:06 and 1:48 we can always go back were we
took off last.
See Revision 1 to the Flight Plan. Thanks Rad. Maybe you should bring him with you Reno.
He needs to see America. God I hope I got the coordinates for Mt. Rushmore and Devils Tower right.
Does this mean Reno is IN? I hope so!
When are you going to be at Sun N Fun. Randy and I will be there Friday and Saturday.
Lets all get together.
Cappy

I was looking at my 1999 road Atlas showing distance.
Anyway if its that scenic, who cares how long it
takes? Found alt. fuel stops cheaper than a couple of
yours, but who knows in 2 months. I gather you are
out for LAL. We can dub this trip Cappy's Excellent
Adventure. RR

"God I hope I got the coordinates for Mt. Rushmore and Devils Tower right."
From Google Earth:
Mt. Rushmore: 43°52'44.21"N 103°27'35.37"W Elev 5,504 ft
Devis Tower: 44°35'19.90"N 104°41'57.34"W
Sounds like you are going to have a great trip.
With luck we might be ready. Today I finished installing the FAB. We are getting closer to moving it to the airport.

Devils Tower is a big rock and lots of coordinates are given for it. Mine came from Wikipedia and Mt Rushmore matches yours.
My suspicion is because of its size there are many different coordinates. See below.
USA, Wyoming, Devil's tower INDEX UNITS TO GPS
Mainly trad crack climbing on hard volcanic rock columns. The tower is an incredible sight.
Visitor Center Long Term Parking, park there for all climbs, N 44o 35' 30.8'' - W 104o 42' 52.7'' CUS072 . The altitude is about 4800 feet . - Devil's Tower's North Face, New Wave route 10a, N 44o 35' 30.8'' - W 104o 42' 52.7'' CUS073 .
- Devil's Tower West Face, One Way Sunset 10b, N 44o 35' 27.7'' - W 104o 42' 54.9'' CUS074 .
- Devil's Tower East Face, El Cracko Diablo 5.8 (hard 5.8!), N 44o 35' 24.8'' - W 104o 42' 56.5'' CUS0
