Chuck,
I've found that when one drinks, the flying is very smooth .... but the flights are very short!

Tomorrow, about noon, 4 of us, in 3 planes, will head out for a 3 day, 2 night airplane camping trip. First stop is Huntington, UT (69V) for fuel. Then on to the San Rafel Swell Wilderness Area to set up camp at Mexican Mountain airstrip. The plan is to unload and set up camp, relax a little, then return to Huntington via Cedar Mountain airstrip for dinner in town. Then fly back to Mexican Mountain for a bonfire, drinks and sleep.
Tues morning we will head towards Hubbard airstrip (9CO3) stopping at some more backcountry airstrips along the way. We will spend Tues night camping at Hubbard airstrip.
Wed morning we plan to land at several other backcountry airstrips as we work our way back home to Morgan, UT (42U) and Ogden, UT (KOGD). It should be a great backcountry trip. Follow along if you have interest. My SPOT link is in my signature line.

What are the temps in that area this time of the year?
Quick update: SPOT batteries died today. All OK. 2 hard days of flying so far. Last night temp was 21 F. Will give a good report and pics after we return.

Home safe and sound. Shower taken. I have lots of photos and video which I will work thru in the next few days. In the meantime here is one to wet your interest. This was taken at one of my favorite backcountry/wilderness airstrips, Mexican Mountain, Utah. We camped there the first night. More to follow.
