I'll give a full write up when I get back. My research thus far tells me: There is a landing fee of $25 and a $15 bus fare to get to Avalon. There's a hike around the airport if one desires.
I'm planning to leave Calgary Jan. 1st, clear customs in Spokane then stop (because of daylight) in some joint called Winnemucca, NV.
I just called the airport manager and he has a plug-in for the Reiff preheater, a loaner car and Avgas. That's all I need. Day 2 is a stop at Van Nuys!! Gotta stop there!! Loved the movie so bucket list item #1. Then off to Catalina, bucket #2.
The return leg will take me up the Oregon coast and maybe Tofino, BC if weather permits.
No better way to kick off the new year
