Hi Folks:
Great flight out west and home again.
Flew 59.6 hours through Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, New
Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkasas, Mississippi, and finally, Alabama.
Mileage was 4,800+ or - a couple hundred miles.
Average ground speed was 80 mph despite flying with headwinds for all
but a couple days of the flight.
912ULS used no oil during flight, and burned right at 300 gal 100LL.
Price of fuel was from 3.20 to 4.60 a gal.
Aircraft performed perfectly, as did the engine.
Met a lot of great folks and got to visit with some wonderful old
friends.
MV was best yet.
Moab, with John W and Boyd Y, was a lot of fun. Even the dust and
wind storm with 50+ winds was a hoot. Primarily, because we got our
airplanes and our bodies in a hangar 15 minutes prior to the storm
hitting us. The night before, we slept in our tents on the tarmac in
a windstorm with our tents tied to our airplanes. All tents survived
the night, including occupants.
John W and I got to do the $5 tour of a deep underground gold mine
near Winnemucca, NV, conducted by my SF friend who is a geologist
there. We were sweating, huffing and puffing, 2,250 feet underground
as we made our way by foot from the 1500 to the 2,250 ft level. Glad
to get on the cage for the return to the surface at the bottom level
and not have to climb our way back up.
The Rock House, near Rome, OR, with the Cottrells, John W, Arte Trost,
Doug, Roger Hankins and all the animals of the Cottrell household, was
a hoot. We talked until our jaws hurt.
John W and I departed together after we did a low level formation
flyby over the Rock House. John W flew west and I flew east to Rigby,
ID, to spend a couple days with an old SF friend.
Almost forgot, Arte Trost departed Rock House for her home in Western
Oregon in her Maxair antique ultralight two days prior to our
departure.
I took off from Rigby, ID, Wed. Flew over the Tetons and Jackson
Hole, WY, direct over the Rockies to Fort Collins, CO. Next day made
it to Neosho, MO, and home to Gantt IAP, AL, at 1735 yesterday.
Good to be home, but suffering extreme let down after having so much
fun for 18 or 19 days.
Good to see the List is happy and thriving. 
I'll share some photos when I get some time to work on them.
Take care,
john h
