Just south of the Mason Dixon Line
I know it's not a long wing, and it doesn't have bushwheels but I thought some of you may be able to help.
My friend just bought a Decathlon in San Diego asked me if I would help bring it back. Looking to bring it back sometime after Oct. 1. I need to get back in time to get out to John's OBP fly-in on the 16th.
Having never flown out west I'm looking for any advice I can get. My great circle route puts me just North of Prescott, Winslow, probably stop near Taos at the end of the 1st day. Then end up near Kansas City for the second night. Maybe somewhere near Zanesville, OH on the third night. Ending at Essex Skypark W48 on day four. All this is subject to immediate and drastic change.
Was thinking of maybe heading up towards the Grand Canyon and over towards monument valley. Then Overnight near Durango. Leave early and head through the cumbres pass to the east
Unfortunately this Taildragger has wheel pants, so not looking for anything to rough but am looking for some real gem airports along the way. Gas on grass. Places with food or courtesy car to go to town for eats. I am bringing a tent so camp friendly places too.
I'm really getting stoked about this and looking foward to any input you guys have.
Thanks,
Nick W.
