I just flew a similar route from El Tiro to El Paso last Saturday
(planned under the pseudonym Bartman to protect the guilty). In
mid-July I want to do a similar flight that finishes at Alamogordo
(or, conditions permitting, Sierra Blanca Regional, northeast of
Ruidoso, where I have family).


I have no advice to offer about skirting the White Sands, but merely
want to wish Ted the best of luck on his next XC adventure. I will enjoy
reading about it.

For those who have not read Ted's account of his flight last Saturday,
try the link below. Select subject "El Tiro to El Paso" and scroll down
to "Start of thread". It is the most entertaining XC story I've read in
years, and I'll never again be able to polish my batteries without
thinking of 2NO. Jesus Christo tuno toofunnio.
