Hey Pete you should come out this spring...Head to the flyIn at Mack Mesa, Colorado and a bunch of us fly Utah and Northern AZ. If you make it into Phoenix I can fix you up with a hangar.
Here's a couple videos to get you warmed for the trip. https://youtu.be/_oelPc9ZLcs https://youtu.be/xalMCxt3c8I
Thanks Paul...I've jealously watched your videos of your trip. That's a long cross country for me...
