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.

Quite the ambitious trip, but of course, you da world

miles from Y-Stone...2+ hr. drive. highest peaks all

<10k apparantly.  guess you will line up some alt.

airports to cover wx. deversions. you doing LAL/ we

need a group meet on this deal soon.

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

Rad you are sharp, KSAV should be KSVH or Statesville, NC.  Thanks  

  

 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.

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.

  

 Bill

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 Cappy
