Coast to Coast in Cubs

I left Grand Junction on Friday to fly up on the airline to Bend, Oregon to pick up Colorado Backcountry Flying's new, old Super Cub.  It is a very nicely restored PA-18A-150.  They happened to have a record snow storm the few days before I arrived.  But I was able to get out of there on Saturday afternoon.   I was also able to spend time with my good friend Paul who was instrumental in procuring the airplane.  I spent Saturday night in the thriving metropolis of Winnemucca, and then was able to make it back to Junction on Sunday evening.  I spent a brief evening hanging out with the fam and the next morning got on the airline to White Plains, NY to pick up a Carbon Cub for Wild West Aerosports in Danbury, CT.  It was a three day trip to get back to Grand Junction due to incredible headwinds.  The first two days I netted about 55 knots across the ground.  Fortunately the last day I lost the headwinds and covered as much ground as I did the first two.  I made it home Thursday night.  Coast to coast flying about 500 feet above the ground--hard to beat.
