Anyway, I think you've answered my questions..now I have one more.
Since the only approach in Minden is GPS, does it make sense to get an
IFR-certified GPS?
Anyone have any preferences.
I don't want to put a $10K upgrade in ;-)

Thanks,

If you want to fly IFR into Minden, you'll need a panel mounted IFR
certified GPS, other wise plan the ILS into Reno and drive... but yes.. IFR
in the SAC valley on top of the FOG layer can be fun... but more than once I
had to divert a T-37 from Mather to Placerville (on top of the fog) and wait
it out.. fog and vis were below IFR minimums at Mather.
