So I did pass my checkride! I have been flying since February of 2012. My dear wife will fly with me when she is able. We have had some notable adventures!

Flying in the mountains!
Well today, July 17, 2013 I went flying. My flight was in the early morning (getting very hot by 10 a.m.). I was going to fly up to Wildhorse but decided to only go out over the valley next to Tuscarora and then fly over to Willow Creek Reservoir. A beautiful morning to be up. I flew somewhat parallel to Mountain City Highway as I headed toward the Independence Mountain range and then into the beautiful valley next to Tuscarora. Circled around a couple of times and then followed the GPS toward Willow Creek res. Keeping an eye on my timer and fuel. Flew next to but not over the small lake. Nobody fishing, boating. Touched the direct icon on the Garmin program and headed back to Elko. Climbed up to 10,000 ft. Msl to be sure I would clear the tall range as I flew to Elko. Two or three other planes readying to land, everyone communicated adequately. A good landing on 23. It had warmed up to at least 80-85 on the ground. Taxi Alpha and park in hanger. No noticeable oil leak. (Just finished annual and replaced all the push rod sleeves). Soon I will include photos and movie clips, gotta get that GoPro camera. Until we fly again. ;-)
