Ever since the RV-10 was completed I have thought about taking a long trip out west to see a few things that people talk about.
A little back ground. I grew up east of the Mississippi river and the only time I have been west of there was on an occasional trip to eastern South Dakota or a Bus trip with our church chorus that took us as far as Oklahoma and Nebraska. I stopped in L.A. on an airline trip to Hawaii but was only a change over and stayed in the airport. And one time I went via airline to L.A to visit my brother for 2 or 3 days.
We decided to take the girls and go on a trip WAY out west and just look around.
I will let the pictures do the talking for the most part.
Some of them are not the best quality but hopefully they will give you an idea.
Due to all the children with us we only flew a max. of 2 legs per day and kept them at less than 3 hrs each. Worked pretty well.
Hopefully this will be good motivation material for someone out there.

Day 1 ----
We headed to Excelsior Springs, MO for the first fuel stop.
From there we went to Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Visited a 94 year old friend.
Went to Clint Buzenitz shop to see the Vetterman exhaust system facility and also the modified Cub that Clint is building.
Had the privilege of meeting Mr. Larry Vetterman the next morning before departure and swapping a few stories.
The girls found an airplane in front of Clint's house...they didnt have enough flying for one day!
