Hello,
My plane is currently at Cedar City (KCDC), planning to head east back towards Boston on Friday morning. I expect to spend 3-4 days flying home; so good food/fuel/hotel stops appreciated!
My original route was a southern route which I have done before. However, looking at the current fronts I think a northern route might be better to get around the Rockies (staying VFR until I am away from mountains). Not having flown a northern route around the Rockies, I figured I would ask the collective wisdom on the best route.
My search has shown there is a common recommendation for I80 or Emigration Canyon. However, I am largely coming up empty on the best way points or other information to use for filing a VFR flight plan (I will be talking to ATC for flight following also). I also could not find any recommendations when coming from the south.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
