Hello, everyone it is time for me to go on a nice long solo xc flight the
weather forecast look's great for the route I am taking. I will be departing
59S at around 2:30am pacific time. I should arrive in KCOE about 3.5 hours
later just at sunrise. I will stop In KCOE call in for an update on weather
before I cross the big mountain's. I will then head for my final destination
witch will be KISN "yes I will have plenty of fuel stops between here and
there I will not know the final detail's until I get the winds at KCOE and
update my flight log. This will be my longest flight I have done since I
have had my ticket I have been just waiting for the right conditions and it
seem like they are here. I figure the flight to take me about 11 to 13 hours
I know it takes 26 hours to drive it and the view in a car stinks. "the 26
hours is with Montana having a speed limit now"

I did my oil change yesterday since I was 5 hours from oil change time. I
thoroughly looked over my baby she is ready to convey me upward and to my
destination. I know it is going to be hard to sleep tonight the excitement
is really building my bags and food are packed I am ready to go.


See you all next weekend.
