Almost home, flying over the Missouri in South Dakota.
We had a wonderful time and had fun visiting people we haven't seen in ages. We also got plenty of flying experience!

 Bud, Charlott, and Linda at the hotel. |
 Only back east would the dogs have regimented play time!!(I don't think my dogs could read the sign! |
 Kelsey and Ken's wedding was held in the rose garden.(Cale, this photo's for you!) |
 Jim and Barb Wakefield did the quick one day visit! |
 Leaving Saginaw early Sunday morning and finally comfortable enough flying to take photos!! |
 Only brave enough to fly by Lake Michigan-not over it! |
 Chicago, and that's as close as I want to fly by it! |
 Leaving the east behind. |
 We made it as far as Hampton-NOT The Hamptons, but Hampton, Iowa. Believe me, there is a big difference! As you can see, the visiblility was marginal. |
 I felt obligated to put in the only civil war memorial in Iowa (it was closed so this is all we saw)-besides there wasn't much else to see except cornfields and fog. |
 This was the most exciting place in town-how sad is that! We were waiting for the ceiling to rise, so we could sneek out of town. |
 Next stop, Souix Falls,SD! At least we made it out of Iowa! |
 Finally a hole in the clouds! Right over the airport, and that was definately Cliff's luck, not mine! |
 It was wonderful being above the clouds for a change, and headed west. |
 Finally close enough to home to get clear of clouds. It gave me a new appreciation of the desert! |
 My photo of devil's tower in South Dakota. OK, so use your imagination, it's there! |
 I'm finally comfortable enough to look like the confident pilot-too bad we are almost home!. |
 Hmmm, the rivers just keep getting smaller as we get home. The Cheyenne and Belle Fourche in SD. |
 Pryor gap, home is just over the hill. |
 Then we got into turbulence... a sure sign that Bridger is just over the hill...yep, we're home! |
 My favorite photo of the trip... too bad I can't take credit for it! We had a great time and only wished we would have had more time to visit relatives in Canada(and I was a braver pilot to go through custums etc, to go there!). Note no photo of the wedding couple....I am hoping Shirley will remedy that! I did get a video of Kelsey and Ken, with Kelsey trying to get that DARN ring on Ken's finger!
