Halfway
Welcome to Kansas! Made it halfway, but high winds and impending storms make it unlikely I will make it home tonight. I how to take off at 8am. I am in a Denny’s without any handguns. My brain is a … Continue reading
Pittsburgh, Headed West
A lot of clouds ok the way in, but still VFR. Nell and the boys are probably a few hundred miles ahead. Time for lunch.
West to East!
We made it! We are in New Hampshire in a lovely house overlooking a pleasant lake. I have just barely recovered from eighteen and a half hours of flying. We traveled nearly twenty-three hundred miles. We hope to continue to … Continue reading
Wednesday: Ithaca, NY to Lebanon, NH
On Saturday morning we hope to continue our coast-to-coast journey to the actual coast by landing in East Hampton and having dinner on the sand by the lapping waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Until then, this is the end of … Continue reading
Tuesday: Champaign, IL to Ithaca, NY
After sleeping the sleep of the near-dead, I rolled over at 6:30am and pulled my laptop up to check the weather. The air conditioner seemed to ignore the thermostat (my friend Marc would have loved it) so the room was … Continue reading
Monday: Albuquerque, NM to Champaign, IL

Sunday: Santa Monica, CA to Albuquerque, NM
Santa Monica’s little airport has a restriction on early morning departures. You can’t start your engine earlier than 7am on a weekday or 8am on a weekend. So we all rolled out of bed at 6:15am, finished packing up the … Continue reading
Tip of the Finger Lake
This is the view from our hotel room window, overlooking the Cornell campus. I haven’t been back for twenty years, since I escaped. We landed last night ahead of a thunderstorm which we chased along the length of New York … Continue reading
Happy on the Ground
Totally amazing to get so close to Chicago and hear that they had evacuated the tower at the field we were headed toward (Midway). We are (very) happily on the ground in Champaign,IL.
Pushing On
We weren’t able to get out of Albuquerque last night (thunderstorms, night, mountains), but we were up early and out in the morning. A fuel stop on Guymon, OK made us think of our friend Dean. Now we are in … Continue reading
