Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "great shape".
- Comments... P3D didn't have my preferred destination, so I went to my last choice... buried in the mountains. Flew at 13,000 between cloud layers but thankfully no icing.. temp was at freezing. Picked my way through the valleys to my destination to avoid climbing above 13,000. On arrival poor vis and another death-wish arrival dodging clouds and hills to find this field buried deep in a valley.
- In RW, a great family visit this afternoon to celebrate Carl's birthday! Daytona 500 got 20 laps in then rained out until tomorrow. If we aren't gonna race, best by flyin' to Bhutan!
