I will not live long enough to have access to a hangar within several hours of where I live. Now that I can no longer afford anything that will fit on a trailer and park in my driveway, it just doesn't matter... :mad:

Oh yeah, I practically lived in the coastal mountains and rode the whole length of Skyline, usually climbing Highway 9 from Saratoga and spent lots of time on the South side by Guadalupe Reservoir. On the other side of the bay, I rode up to the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton. By the time I...
