A Run for the Finish....

Sorry Folks....I typed this late last night and never posted......

We left Hot Springs this morning at about 8am and headed to Cameron, MO. We meet so many nice people along the way it is a very exciting but interesting journey. We waited for fuel in Cameron for an hour and half because this little airport doesn't have a fuel truck so we had to put the tow bars on the planes and drag them towards the fuel tank in a single file line.



We then moved on to Southern IL - Murphysboro. We got here midafternoon. There were a lot of the racers had been waiting there for the winds to change so they could get better tail winds to head to Elkhart, IN. We decided to stay over night here in Southern, IL because they are predicing bad storms with hail and possible tornados. I don't know about some of you but I do not prefer to see a toronado from the air in a small airplane.



So here is the deal. We need to get to Elkhart then to Parkersburg, WV and finally to Frederick, MD. Our computer calculations (without winds) is showing a trip of about 8 hours. There is some weather we will have to look for as we get closer to WV and MD but we are going to try and attempt to get to Frederick tomorrow. Worst case we should be able to get to Parkersburg, WV. Keep your fingers crossed because we would sure like to be in Frederick tomorrow so we can relax a little bit.



Thanks for everyone's well wishes today!!!
