mountain obs, weather falling! But not to be deterred, Neil said you've got a fast plane, let's due an end around. We kept her under the deck and went south skirting the rain and ice, finally saw hope around Salmon ID. We hopped over the ridges checking all the new snow and wondering how the supercub fly-in was staying warm at Johnson Creek 1.5 hrs later the ceilings are up and we can see Washington is in the clear. Our detour worked and we pointed Aurora to KEAT. 3hrs chock to chock and I met my first SARL Race Organizer, Tim B. He was very busy getting things ready and we were trashed so off we went to find a car/room and food and do some touristy stuff at Levenworth. Later we came back sat outside the FBO and soaked up the glorious sunshine that has been eluding us in Montana. Also met Red H. in a 225mph Wittman Tailwind(thought of you Chad) and a Long Ez landed about the time we left.
A call to my wife at Townsend and she said if we didn't leave when we did we would be at home right now, been raining most of the day, except when it hailed!
Big Race for me tomorrow..hope I don't get lost.
BTW-Aurora Race 155 ran like a top today.
I'll get some ramp pics tomorrow
