I was up today also, went to cedar city then did a DME arc at St.
George, (had to try out my new 430) snow on the ground around cedar city and it was -10 at 9000 ft ... Tony Cox wrote: Richard, oh, one more recommendation: All good stuff (Marble Canyon & Death Valley if weather is iffy). I'd just add (having been up today) that Winter is here and it's bloody cold. Do file a flight plan & go prepared. The last 70 miles will be on the plateau, which is 5000' and up. If you have to put down, you could end up walking 30 miles just to get to a road. If leaving from Boulder City, you can't reach FS on the published frequency too easily heading east, so open the flight plan on the ground. Peach Springs VOR has an RCO which you can provide a position report on - it's the only RCO between the Vegas Valley and GCN, almost exactly 1/2 way. -- Dr. Tony Cox Citrus Controls Inc. e-mail: http://CitrusControls.com/ |
