Meds. Before reading on,... It is available in 5 gallon containers at a REAL discount, $75.00 per container!! Choke ! Choke!

Ice mountain obscurity rain less the 1 hr west of us right now , watching to see if it moves north

[SkyPirate]

Rain clouds on the horizon,... Rain clouds over head, Rain clouds north east west and south,.. Not really complaining it means more time with family, but it also means i have to drive everywhere,
Madison, with all of this rain has been trying to establish some " roots" and has implicated the thought that she would like to stay here for the summer, with little inuendo's " Dad? You could come back in the fall when the leaves turn and pick me up? I know how you talk about the foilage here in the fall" ha ha
She surely knows how to play " dad" at 8 yrs old ha ha.

Outlook /plan as of now, depart the wet lands " new england" this saturday with intentions of arriving back in MO no later then Sunday around noon dodging a few showers on the way.

1,110 nm left of this adventure with 1,490 nm behind us, and building memories on the way , Finn and Norm, i still have not craved even a taste of icecream since AFN

It has not stopped raining for 3 days but finally we are getting a little bit of distance to the cieling

Glad you are patient Chase.
Those of us who fly small aircraft require this characteristic.
Enjoy your day.

Havent got much choice Steve its been IFR from the deck up, im not complaining, got to spend more time with family👍

On our way back to the nest (M48) travelling back has been a test for my meteoroligal side dodgeing storms, out of 2 days travelling we have been able to cover all but the last 360 NM, with an extensive weather pre flight, we hope to touch down on familiar turf before noon today.
So far we have had in our favor once 150 mph GS with 115 ASI, and not so much in our favor 110 ASI with 75 GS, for the most part smooth air until yesterday, with turbulence from ground up to 6000 ASL and head winds in front of a storm that made more sense to be on the ground and wait it out, as the sun rises this am, we will be on the ramp, nose pointed SW , tanks topped and the knowledge that a warm shower, beautiful lady and a familiar bed are waiting at the end of this 2500 NM journey, and when asked by others " any cross country flights in your Kitfox?" Maddie and I can say " with a Kitfox Grin on our faces, " Ohhhh Yeahhhh"

[SkyPirate]

We made it to Crawford Co KRSV and landed, waiting for a storm to pass, should be airborne again with in the hour, around 250 nm left , hopefully this is the last of the T Storms and rain, we did have 35 mph head winds at 3000 ASL, a layer of clouds has not allowed us to go on top

Was wondering where you spent Father's Day.
It's a trip of a lifetime Chase. To get to spend that much time with your daughter exploring the country is rare.
Sounds like your Kitfox has been working great.

That morning sunrise photo is sweet.
Keep safe.

Your trip is sounding like mine when I went to Weyers Cave VA.
