Morris, Thank You for telling so much of the details of your trip.

It was fun writing. A way to relive it.


I'm planning a June trip from Newport News, VA (PHF) to Oakland (OAK),
also in an Arrow. We plan to go west via route that starts further
north than yours (DLL, 6V4 (Wall, SD), RAP, CPR), make a stop at Flaming
Gorge, then in trail with you to OAK. We intend return via the southern
route (TUS, maybe 0V7 (Kayenta, AZ), CVN, and other stops back to PHF.

Any comments are Welcome.

Enjoy the trip. My biggest lesson was to not plan any further
than the next leg because plans _will_ change. Of course, in
the mountains, your route is a little more constrained.

I wouldn't have recommended this a year ago, but now a wireless
laptop is almost essential for weather planning and looking up
airnav. Pretty much all hotels have or claim to have wireless
internet hotspots.

HTH,

Morris (on the road again)
