Default Trip report: flying to Yellowstone in a Grumman Traveler

Ever think about putting a RAP'er trip to Yellowstone together?
Pre/post-OSH?


Interesting idea! It flight plans out at about 4.5 hours from Phoenix, overflying the Grand Canyon, Bryce
Canyon and Salt Lake. One stop somewhere south of SLC would be a nice trip. I haven't been there
since we took the kids up there about 15 years ago. Let's work on this!


Okay, for best weather (and not to interfere with OSH) it would have to
be in June, probably mid-to-late June. This is starting to sound like
a crazy idea that might be more than a pipe dream?

For me, it flight plans at 6:10, which we could easily make in one day,
weather permitting. Of course, when I rode a motorcycle through
Yellowstone -- in June -- it SNOWED, so this is dicier than you might
think.

Anyone else interested? Mary and I have been talking about this
FOREVER, and -- with my son a Junior in high school now -- it's next
summer, or probably never, with him.
