Scott,
This is such a cool write-up. If you ever turn it into a book, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

I was trying to recall...
I was trying to recall a story in any aviation mag that I have EVER read that I enjoyed more. Well I couldn't. That got me thinking about how cool VAF is. Then I realized it was time to pay my VAF dues..... done.
The word Epic has been used by many in their replies and I can't think of a better description. Every instalment keeps you wondering what cool thing is he going to have happen next.
Scott I imagine you could have a pretty good second income flying around the country writing about your adventures.

Scott, pray on that suggestion for sure. I can't possibly know what His answer might be, but I think an expanded version would sell very well at the faith bookstore. Gotta fund those mission trips somehow.

Amen. Eagerly awaiting the westward legs of the pilgrimage.

Observation about awesome, epic thread
Scott, as you no doubt know but aren't saying, no small part of your travelogue's compelling quality is your refusal to get side-tracked even momentarily in exchanges with those of us cheering you on and hungry for more, or eager to add our personal mini-connections to your larger story.
One outstanding reason this reads so well is that, like watching a Ken Burns series where the still photos take on a mesmerizing life of their own, our narrator seemingly cannot hear us responding, and he soldiers on through his script with his face set like flint to get the story told without interruption. Good job. I'd be bantering with every one who jumped into my thread, and it would never reach this level of epic - even if a trip I'd made ever rivaled yours (none has).
Do carry on. Please.

Wellsville
Scott,
Great write-up on Wellsville. I was born and raised there, and learned to fly there in the early 90s. You certainly picked the best spot to eat, but can't believe that you walked there and back from the airport! That is a hike!
Thanks for all the photos...
Oh, and the view out the back of Don's back porch? That's my parents' house!
