Hey, big brother comes out of lurking to speak for himself on the RV
progress. You must have asked the right question Paul!

I've been thinking "about 2 years" for the last 5 or 6 years. (OK, so I
can't estimate a schedule worth a !@#$.)
Sort of like me and my 86 Nissan Pickup. "When are you going to replace
the truck Jack"? "Maybe sometime in the next six months". Never mind
that I've been saying that for the last couple of years. As one friend
said when he got in so we could drive to the airport to go fly, "I can
tell you've been investing more in flying.



Well ... ya' gots ta have yer priorities, Jack!

Let's start out on 122.75 and gradually switch to 123.3 as we get closer to
IOW. My N-Number is N73CQ, but BlueOnBlue182 works just as well. How do
you want to be called?

Let me know which frequency you'll be monitoring and I'll give you a
shout.

Frequency and N-number noted. Hmmm, how do I want to be called? Rats,
can't think of anything really cool right now. Probably for the best as
that's just another thing to remember. Ignore whatever MontBlack, JayH,
or any of the other r.a.* regulars suggest. :-) As we'll be listening
for our N-number when in contact w/ ATC, I'd go with "Arrow 2104T" or
"Cherokee 2104T". Will make sure to start monitoring 122.75

In an Arrow? Please. Low wing Cardinal perhaps.

"Allison Arrow".... gives the unknowing the impression that you've either
got a big ole Allison V1710 12 cylinder, or maybe an Allison turbine engine!

Anything but "Broken Arrow". :-))

Current thinking ...

Tooele UT (pronounce Too-willuh) is a good cheap ($2.90) gas stop and
Rawlins WY is a good overnight stop (Day's Inn gives a $60 price to pilots)
but is a little high on fuel. ($3.43). The first on-course reliable autogas
stop between California and IOW is Audubon IA. I can't do Rawlins- Audubon
direct, but I can do Torrington WY (excellent fuel price) direct Audubon.

Morning fog frequently develops over the panhandle and central part of
Nebraska and doesn't dissipate until noonish, although the fog is generally
spotty.

So ...

Friday morning: Grass Valley to Tooele for gas. At Rawlins put enough gas
in to get safely to Torrington (about an hour) in the morning and then RON
Rawlins at the Day's Inn.

Saturday morning: Rawlins to Torrington for fuel, then Audubon for cargas,
Iowa City on Saturday afternoon.

Coming home...

Saturday about noon departure from Oshkosh. Just enough LL fuel in at
Oshkosh to get to Portage for car gas. Then to Audubon again for the last
shot of cargas before the long trek across Nebraska home. WAY too early to
be planning anything this far in advance.

Any thoughts?
