Some of you will recall that I cracked and exhaust while I was at the Grand Canyon back in December. Well, I put a shout out looking for an urgent replacement and Kris at SkySportsUSA was not only first to contact me but also got the exhaust out the same day.
Since then he and many others have kept track of my progress and been there every step of the way to make sure I have quick fast access to what I need to keep the tour going.
As I now make my west Kris was my first stop and who was also sitting on my prized package, a new pair of Oakley Sunglasses that my buddy Ronnie had organized for me.
The picture below shows be driving up to pick him up after running out of fuel in Valley Springs.
Wednesday, April 8th I traveled on to New Hampshire and made arrangements to connect with Kris at Claremont Airport about a 30 min drive from Lebanon. The weather wasn’t looking good for the rest of the week and we were playing it by ear.
Upon arriving at the airport I decided we had a window and so Kris & Kyle agreed to come down and meet met.
The climb out was indeed bumpy as Kris predicted but the weather settled down and in hindsight(Kris thought the conditions would get worse, not better) if we had waited an extra 30-45 minutes the flight would have been even nicer especially with a landing as the moon was rising.
While the flight was about 40 minutes, I did put this video together that seemed to represent how the time on the edge of the river was so great and finishing up with some wingovers and elbow bumps.
