I'm up for that. That way, I won't have to figure out how to hitch-hike back home. Fly one up, fly one back.

BTW, I used airnav to plan the stops with a max leg of 200 miles, seeing as you have standard tanks and a big motor. Besides, after a couple of hours, I'll be ready for a little rest. I took the airnav recommendation and looked at a map to see what points of interest are out there. I haven't bought the round of sectionals, yet, but I'll get them this week and begin to lay out the route in better detail. Robbie is pumping my mind full of information on the camera for the tail, as well as the best type of recording device. I have high hopes for this production.

I was hoping that Ed might be able to fly up here and pick me up, then fly me down to pick up the plane. Otherwise, Ed would have to fly up here in 999ED, then I'd fly him back home. I don't mind either way. I think ED can find Arlington He found San Angelo in the middle of the night with 5 miles viz, with only a VOR and a clock. Impressed me. For my trip, I'll have two handheld GPS's and a handheld nav/com along.

And yes, it's Death Valley.
