Are you still planning on flying out for the air races next week?
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Thanks, Adam. Yep, after at least 10 revisions in our arrangements, we're
still planning on departing Wednesday for Reno.

In the unlikely event that we actually make it all the way to Grass Valley
in one day, we will be camping in Jim Weir and Gail Allinson's back yard on
Wednesday night.

Then it's off to the races for a few days (although I quite frankly have
forgotten how we're getting to the race itself. Was that your car we're
borrowing, or Jim's? :-), spending a couple of nights in a hotel (where the
folks who were supposed to accompany us have made reservations. They have
had to cancel their trip...), and then spending Sunday night back at Jim's
again before departing for home on Monday morning.

Whew! I'll bet everyone here a nickel that this trip doesn't go off as
planned, for two simple reasons:

1) We're traveling across the continent VFR
2) We've just experienced 8 perfect, cloudless days in a row here in the
Midwest.

That can't continue, can it?

We'll see!
