Picking up new to me airplane. Any overnight or even daytime rest stop suggestions. Slight possibility I will go west 180 miles to Provo Utah for a night or two then head back east. Around 1200 miles from KGJT to KDNN. I will be flying a Just Superstol, 90 mph, 3 to 3.5 hour max range. Direct takes me thru Kansas or Oklahoma and Missouri or Arkansas. North end of Texas isn't out of the question. Then Tn. Or MS. I have been flying 20 years but will be carrying my newly minted tailwheel endorsement so I'm not looking for off field or really weird (hard) places to land. I just want to get myself and the plane back safe and sound. Probably (unfortunately) paved strips for fuel ?? I will be prepared to sleep under the wing but no cooking although I can live off off cold microwave food cups, Pop Tarts and water if need be. I'm not in a huge hurry but not looking to take a whole week either. Mini adventure I hope. Also folks out in CO. Or Utah, if you have any suggestions on routes, tips, tricks I'm all ears. I've been over in my Mooney but at 20,000'+ Stories I hear of winds and downdrafts make me a little nervous. It is turbocharged (Rotax) no transponder at the moment. Any and all help appreciated. Lastly, I hope flying a non Cub isn't a deal breaker here ;-) maybe it helps that the owner is keeping his Carbon Cub and selling this junker Haha. Thanks for the forum, lots of great info.
