Cleared for Takeoff
Last year I went on an epic adventure with one of my friends flying my Mooney from San Diego to Cape Cod via Texas, New Orleans, and Key West, then back again via Ohio, Chicago, Denver and Moab Utah.
Next week I'm headed to Oshkosh for airventure. On the way there I'm joining up with a bunch of other folks flying the Mooney Caravan, but on the way home we'll be flying solo and I'm wanting to hit some of the northern states that I haven't seen yet. I'll most likely be bringing my friend back to his home base in the bay area (O69, Petaluma) and I have a friend in SLC I'd like to see. Any of you know of some good airports to refuel at, or good overnight stops in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming? Possibly even N. Dakota, Montana or Idaho?
We probably won't have time to really stop and explore much along the way, but I'm at least interested in looking out the window at new pieces of earth and chatting with some different airport bums.
