Hi gang-
I made it back this morning after too many nights in motels...was
fun, but good to be back.
I'll post a loooong story, and you can read it or not depending on
you thirst for details.
Initial numbers...943 miles in just under 12 hours flying time, for a
79 mph average, but that contains an error where the GPS did not
report a stop that I made...don't know why...probably was on internal
battery power...gotta look into that.

At one point, after leaving Oshkosh on Sunday, I pulled my GPS power
plug from the cigar lighter, and inserted my cell phone charger. The
GPS went into internal battery mode. I stopped at for about 45
minutes to warm up a bit, and the GPS apparently did not stop
counting time, as it did not show the stop at a charted airport. The
track function, however, shows that I stopped, or at least circled
the field. I did stop there for about 45 minutes, met some nice
folks, saw a Model I, II, or III Kitfox (I don't know them all by
sight, but it had the short tail, droop tips, small carry-through
spars, small struts, and plywood flaperon hinge horns), and then took
off again. My GPS shows that I flew for 5.4 hours until I stopped,
and I can assure you that I didn't.

Can your GPS find ground level, Dave?
Lynn, looking forward to your full PIREP with photos.
Cheers,
Michel

Coming up, Michel. I've got about 67 pictures, a lot of which are of
my instrument panel showing the -4° F OAT temp. I had spent several
flights just trying to see a minus sign show up there, and after
spending far too long at -6°, I don't need to see that for quite a
while.
