Hello Netters, Richard Shirley and I left LA this morning for the gathering. We intended on being in early Thursday....Yeah right! We encountered "some" turbulence through AZ and NM. (35 - 40 MPH gusts). We landed in Moriarty (Sp?) for fuel and met a gentleman who knows Jeff Scott. Wind was about 25MPH 30+ degrees off center line of the runway. I'm sure glad the KR handles so well.
We left there with the intention of making a quick stop in Amarillo, Tx. to get a satellite look so we could plan the rest of our route. Well...we didn't quite make it. We were forced down in rain and low clouds (scud running at 200') in the big town of Vega, Tx. about 28 miles short of our destination. It was apparent we were not to be travelling further today. We were lucky enough to meet a local crop duster who was just closing up shop for the day. He graciously provided a home for our KR's over night. No outside parking for us...Woo hoo! If all goes well, we should still make it to Mt. Vernon sometime tomorrow afternoon. Hey Mark, I thought the weather was supposed to be great back here? Steve Glover KR-2 N902G
