All,

         At the end of this week I'll be flying from San Diego to 

Phoenix for the Desert Fox Fly-in. I then intend to leave Sunday and 

fly to Ft. Worth, Texas. As I will be travelling at highway speeds 

I'll need to stop a few times on the way, and overnight at least 

once. Do you have any recommendations for a comfortable, fun 

overnight stop? (I'll be bringing camping equipment, just in case.) 

Are there any other must-see stops or scenery I should note?



Thanks,

Guy Buchanan

I'll be interested in hearing about your flight, Guy. I'm going the  

other way....Florida to California...and flying as a Sport Pilot. Are  

you a SP, or Private rated. I asked a few weeks ago about crossing  

the mountains in this area, and got one reply...I'd like to hear more  

options.

Lynn,



What part of California is your destination?  There are lots of ways to get 

through the mountains here.  I 80 crosses West of Reno (N. of Lake Tahoe) at 

an elevation of about 7200 ft, and US 50 South of Lake Tahoe at about 6500 

ft.  The trick is to cross over the saddles rather than the peaks.  There 

are also passes to the South with elevations that won't compromise your 

limitations.  I am not as familiar with those areas.



Incidentally if you are in the North - Sacramento area - you have a place to 

stay here.  We are in a residential airpark and your airplane will be right 

outside your bedroom window.  The same invitation to anyone else passing 

through.



Incidentally again, our fly-in will be on June 9th this year.  If that is 

during your sojourne in California, you are more than welcome to join us. 

you would, without a doubt, set the all time distance record. Check: 

http://cameronparkkitfox.com for details.

Hi Lowell-

My ultimate destination is up at Duane's place in Auburn/Newcastle.  

I'll be coming by way of Sun 'n' Fun in Florida, then on to mid- 

Texas, then California via whatever route is the easiest/lowest  

elevation, based on my restriction of 10,000 feet MSL (give or take a  

couple of feet if nobody's watching).

Hey, I might just stretch the stay in order to attend the Cameron  

Park Fly-in...does the "long distance award" allow for such trips as  

this, or does it have to be a "purpose" trip? : )

Get the lawyers working on that one, and get back to me. : )
