Touchdown! Greaser!
This darn pandemic is interfering with our plans to hit all 49 Continental states. When it is over, we want to take a trip in the Bonanza to the States listed in the title. It doesn't really matter where in each state we land, but we'd like to find a route that won't require too much O2 (we have a 22 cu ft tank with oxy saver cannulas) and we'd like to find decent places to spend the night and have a nice meal.
We are not highly experienced mountain flyers, but we have flown over the Rockies several times, including round trips from Florida to Oregon, Alaska, and San Diego. (San Diego was the easiest if I recall), so we are not exactly rookies either.
Also, we don't have to hit all four states in one trip.
I am looking for suggestions for routes and cool places to spend a night or two (or three).
Depending on the timing and time of year, I will also be looking for a similar trip up to the North East (Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware) which would complete our 49 state goal. Then we will set a new goal. Maybe we will try to take in the top National Monuments before they are destroyed or renamed.
