Default Dashing downwind

Made it to declared goal of Talihina, OK with not much trouble. Spent a little more time below 5500 msl than I'd have liked in the last 40 miles there.

Got back up to.cloudbase at Talihina. Wind had turned a bit westerly aloft and i wasnt sure about the velocity on the ground so I didn't drop down to the ridges.

Decided to head crosswind to Mena. Nice airport. FBO, and HEAT. My toes are cold!!

Still some nice cu up there but I could see the southern end of the cu field. Did I mention.my toes were cold.

Diamond Distance in February! Woot!
