Coast to Coast Day By Day – The Rest of the day… & The Days After

After brunch, we made our way back to our Camp at Keystone Heights. There we met the airport manager who extended all of the FBO facilities to us that included the Washer, Dryer, and Showers. All of which were very much appreciated by all. We spent the rest of the day catching up with our

We had some weather to contend with, but Weather-Man assured us that it would pass to achieve our flight. By 8 am, Dave Wert arrived and I finally got to meet him for the first time. He had been with us every step of the way and our success could only be attributed to his

Now with Florida just a few miles away, I knew so long as I didn’t make a mistake, we could make it. I know the day before I felt confident, but I didn’t want to let anyone know. Determined for the best time possible, I wanted to keep the team focused to get us there,

I woke up to find that most of the swelling had subsided and I wasn’t too stiff to move around. A few more pills would hopefully keep things under control as the day progressed. The weather briefing looked like another good day, but we needed to keep moving to stay ahead of the weather which

Coast to Coast Day By Day – Day 5 (part 2)

2:44 minutes later and nearly 90 miles I reached Fort Stockton. I was cold and sore so Ray hustled me into the equipment trailer and cranked up the heat. Spotting Ray’s homemade beef jerky I began gnawing on a stick and removed my boots to thaw my toes. Twenty minutes later, somewhat defrosted with a

Coast to Coast Day By Day – Day 5

The morning started off COLD! Temperatures had dropped below freezing and the wind still blowing 6-12 mph was even more chilling. From the comfort of my covers, Ray and I did our usual briefing call with Weather Man. Our goal was to find a way out of this weather crevasse where we could catch winds

During the night the winds continued to grow stronger and the camper rocked. The news from Dave (Weather Man) indicated that if we could make it 50-80 miles from where we were, we would have a chance of getting the wind behind us again and pick up the next wave to push us to the

Coast to Coast Day By Day – Day 3

Like the previous morning’s, the beauty of the landscape was fantastic and I was eager to get in the air as soon as possible. I was also excited that Miller might be able to fly alongside me in his Cub down through the valley. I’m sure the rest of the team were a little weary

Coast to Coast Day By Day – Day 2 (Part 2)

The excitement at the Gila Bend Auxiliary Airforce Airport created a situation where we needed to regroup and come up with a plan to keep moving with the weather. Over some lunch at the Gila Bend Space Age Restaurant, I explained everything that had happened. We then had an opportunity to straighten my hoop a
