I have decided to take Larry Cottrell up on his offer to see the countryside around the Rock House. Plan to fly my MKIII back through Monument Valley, Utah, on the way West. Hope to depart Gantt IAP about 7 Sep. My flight will take me about 2,100 sm and 26.0 flight hours one way. If I decide to return to Alabama the shortest route, I will fly about 1,850 sm and 24.0 flight hours. I plan to celebrate my 75th year and my MKIII's (Miss P'er) 22d year. I'll burn 300.0 gallons of 100LL in transit there and back, between 1,700.00 and 1,800.00 dollars for fuel alone. Ouch! I can fly commercial round trip for about 500.00, but it isn't near as much fun and I wouldn't have Miss P'fer to fly when I got there. Besides, I don't like flying commercial. I'd rather be in charge.
My general route of flight is:
Titus, AL
Memphis, TN
Sherman, TX
Clovis, NM
Los Lunas, NM
Gallup, NM
Monument Valley, UT
Wendover, UT
Wells, NV
Rock House, OR
Return flight:
Rock House, OR
Buhl, ID
Rock Springs, WY
Laramie, WY
Fort Morgan, CO
Goodland, KS
Neosho, MO
Memphis, TN
Columbus, MS
Gantt IAP, AL
I plan my flights to average 75 mph ground speed. Over the years this has proven pretty accurate. My airspeed is 80-85 mph depending on how heavy I am.
Probably get 75.0 hours on this flight counting the hours I fly after I get there.

Here are a couple of videos that I took yesterday on a flight to Jordan Craters, and on to the Owyhee River.

A little better than 120 miles, 2 hours and 6 minutes, 7 gallons of fuel.

Right on, John! -- I applaud your thinking. Commercial air travel is aviation but not FLYING!
We're all with you -- and jealous too
Fair winds,
