Dinner with family along the way.
Jeff's brother picked us up in Deer Valley and took us to a great Mexican food place. Good times!
End of the line...
Had to call off the trip. Severe wx in Tx and La for next few days. Jeff has to leave his plane in Colorado Springs for now. We'll get it there someday soon. Hang in there Jeff.
Prep for some pattern work in Colorado Springs
We decided not to press any further east. We could beat the storm east but then we'd be trapped as the storm passed over us. So, time for crosswind landing practice...
