Lynn broke ground at Brigham City UT yesterday morning at 0600mt and flew through the recommended pass at 9k. He said he could have flow lower, but the pass was narrow and he felt a bit intimidated looking out at the canyon walls so close. He said it didn't take long to get through, especially with a good tailwind and soon hooked up with I80 east of Salt Lake City. Although it was a bit bumpy, he was getting a 43mph tailwind and it wasn't long before he landed at Laramie WY for a pit stop where the wind was 240/15G2, but landing was uneventful. Total 370 miles.
At the Laramie airport he saw a photo on the wall of a Kitfox Speedster with a notation on it that said "Thanks for all your help!" and it was signed by C.O. Denny, Skip Cedergrist, and Patrick Kahlian. Not sure of the spelling because he was reading signatures. Anybody know about this photo?
Next stop was Ogallala NE for a short pit stop at 216 miles and the continuing stiff tailwind was making his travel time very efficient.
Final stop for the day was Kearney NE where he landed without incident for RON, tied down, got the courtesy car, and drove the 7 miles into town for a motel, good steak and a Margarita that, after the long flight, nearly knocked him out! Anyway, it was a good fly-day that took him 743 miles in 6.2 hours.
Today he's thinking that he can probably make it a final leg to home at Grass Lake MI, but he's in no hurry and if he doesn't get the continued tailwinds, no big deal. He'll just grab another motel, steak, Margarita, and relax.
More to come.

I hope he stays below 10000 MSL.
