Planning a pre-dawn launch with over night in Caveman Ranch UT. Any locals with knowledge to share about Caveman? Tent or Rooms?

After getting hammered by weather enroute to Oshkosh I've planned 2 routes.
Over south Utah and the southern route over El Paso

Lot of flying!:D

Any recommendations of "gotta see"?

A great example of what can be done. What would be the cost of this?

Have a great trip west vinalizer. Definitely over the top. :)
 
I was going to call BS on those wind barbs until I checked for myself. I don't recall ever seeing such a lack of head wind going West.
Enjoy the flight.
 
Change of plans. 2day coast to coast. Meet up with race 48 in Texas. Now in ksbp helping where I can to get the show-stopper to Reno.

I'm surprised to see that the -8s shown are not running with a tailwheel fairing.
I would think that would be worth a couple of knots.

I thought the same, talked to a bunch of Reno guys that say it just isn't worth anything.
 
good lookn

Wow,, those are both some really nice paint schemes,,I am still in the dreaming stage for the paint scheme on my plane but the fuselage is built enough you can tell what it is now
 
....are they really needed?????

...I would think they'd just remove them, with all that power, you can just taxi with the tail up, right?
(...or.....' take-off check, positive ROC, tailwheel.....jettison!.....):D
