As I recall Rick was debating a 150/150....
You got an experimental all picked out yet Bill? Nothing specific. But our ad in Barnstormers is bringing in possibilities every day. Three have piqued our interest. The biggest problem is finding one with a large enough baggage area to carry Cheyenne. Bill Grants Pass, Oregon | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 Member/10,000+ posts! | Member/10,000+ posts!

How long does it take to fly from West Houston to Grant's pass? | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 9,802 Likes: 113 Member/7500+posts | Member/7500+posts Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 9,802 Likes: 113 | I flew it from West Houston to Arlington one evening. Stayed at my place for two nights. Then, I flew from Arlington to Albuquerque one day. Albuquerque to Vegas one day. Vegas to Klamath Falls in a day, and then, one more hour on to Grants Pass the last day.
I could have made it in two days, but I decided to fly over Palo Duro Canyon in Texas, Shiprock in NM, Four Corners monument (and circled it twice), San Juan River, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Page, Marble Canyon, The Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Vegas, Death Valley, Furnace Creek, Bishop, Yosemite, Tahoe, Reno, and everything in between.
It was a trip I'll never forget as long as I live. And, I made life-long friends in the process. It just doesn't get any better than that.
