Hi folks,
I know that you aren't doing your once-annual trek to MV any more, but a few friends had heard me rave about it so much that we've decided to go. It's hard to imagine being there without a gaggle of Kolbers, so this is a heads up if any of you in the Utah area (or elsewhere!) want to join us, we'd love it. We're figuring on a 2+ week flight, as we also want to fly some back-country airstrips in Utah after we leave MV. There will be two Titan Tornados, one Avid, and me in my Talon. My guess is that we'll arrive about May 7-8, depending on weather.
Our route to MV, as of now, is:
On Saturday, May 3, we plan on following I-5 south and staying overnight in Medford, Oregon
On Sunday we'll follow Hwy. 140 east to Hwy. 95, and follow that south to Winnemucca, NV.
From Winnemucca we'll follow I-80 east of Carlin, and then head south on Hwy. 278 to Eureka.
From Eureka we'll follow Hwy. 50 east past Great Basin National Park and turn southeast on Hwy. 21 to Milford (Utah) and then Beaver (Utah).
At Beaver we'll follow I-15 south a little, and then take Hwy. 20 southeast over the Hwy. 89.
South on Hwy 89 past Panguich and then take Hwy. 12 to Bryce Canyon.
From Bryce we'll continue on Hwy. 12 northeast to Escalante. Just past Escalante we pick up the Burr Trail and follow it over into the Glen Canyon National Recreational Area and then to Gouldings at Monument Valley.
From Monument Valley (where we'll probably stay for 3-4 days,) we want to do some Utah back-country flying. We'll decide where while we're lazing around in the evenings at MV.
My Talon is the slowest, cruising at 75-80 mph, so it will probably take us 4-5 days to get there.
I'll also have my SPOT on, so you can follow our progress.
So - I'll keep my fingers crossed that I see some of you there.
