Default Coast to coast trip finished :-)

Hi,

two moths ago I asked for suggestions regarding coast to coast trip in
Cessna 172. I'd like to let you know, that I have completed this trip
today :-) Had to skip some things from plan, and route around weather
NE of Hot Springs. Had another thunderstorm activity encounter over
New Orleans, but this time decided to wait untile they fade away.

Whole trip took 19 days, 62.3hr hobbs time, and about 440 gal. of
fuel.

When we started I had 67hr total time, now I have 132hr. I think such
trip is great way to get some more experience, especially how
different weather looks from airplane - it's quite different view than
from ground :-).

I put up a page about this trip, with daily diary, photos, planned
route and GPS trail of what was actually flown. It's on
http://vyx.net/~philz/coast2coast

Bye,
