Dave, I’m glad you think it was useful. [:)] I bet there will be folks from your region headed the same direction! Maybe you can form a loosely grouped “gaggle” of folks flying the same routing. It gives you someone to chat with while en-route.
My wife and I are planning on going from Colorado. Anyone that wants to meet up is more than welcome to contact us. We currently have 3 planes planning on going with us, I believe.
