Around The Moon
Nelson finally arrives home ....
I just got home yesterday afternoon from BACfest. What a great trip!
Jerry and Ruth were able to stay at the AMEN RIVER HOUSE until Sunday, and were good enough to spring for lunch on their departure day. Many thanks !!
I headed home from Colorado Monday mid-morning. Temperatures were about 40 in the morning with highs in the mid-70's. Flight home at 9,500 yesterday had the OAT about 52 degrees. Sweet. Now I am hot and sweaty back home in San Antonio. Geesh ... Ahhh, the mysteries of travel by plane.
Monday when I was about 1 hour south of Dumas, TX fuel stop some T-storms started to form ... so I turned 90 degrees and headed southwest, paralleling the scattered line and staying 50 miles away (I still consider "ADS-B in" nothing short of a miracle of technology for the cockpit). Then the entire line QUICKLY blossomed into a BIG yellow/red wall frontal system. Even the majors were complaining. Next town about 35 minutes straight ahead had just been hit and was clearing (Lubbock) with several of us smaller planes headed that way. I told center I was calling it a day and landed KLBB with no issues. For those of you that need a RON there .... I highly recommend Lubbock Aero on the field and an overnight at the Elegante. I actually paid for the room at the airport desk ($80) and it included a free airport shuttle. And a complementary very nice breakfast. All good.
Now at home and having time to post a few photos. Thanks to all for a GREAT trip and GREAT time. Most excellent !

I've been wrong plenty, but I don't think our site can do direct video uploads. The one video I recall was a link to the video on youtube. I think it was lisany that did that one.
