The flatlands
Wray, Colorado home of the Prairie Chicken, wheat fields, and cattle farms. The scenery is flat! You can see the mountains on a good day from a hundred miles. Nice 5,000 foot paved runway. No amenities on the field, but good mom and pop restaurants close. Two stoplights in the town and lots of friendly people. Love to have anyone venture out this way.

It's a tough life
This is a rough way to live,,,,we're off of KFNL (Loveland- Fort collins) in the 7 just before sun up, up over the divide at 16500 (60 kts on the nose, but smooth &100 miles vis). Chop it and drop it into KGNB (5 below zero) to drop the wife off so she may spend the day skiing at Winter Park. Breakfast with my buddies at Remingtons (they are mostly ret navy, but I get desperate for company)then I'm back in the air to Kremmling to the meat market to pick up some filet mignons(SP) for my 93 year old mom. Those and Black Velvet is all she would like to live on. She lives in Craig, so thats a chance to swing by the Steamboat Springs ski area before landing at KCAG and into town for some of the best TEXMEX in this end of the state. A hour nap and I'm back in the air, south to the Colo river and up the Gore Canyon back to Granby. I pick up the wife and cross the divide at 15500 as the lights of the front range of Colorado are beginng to twinkle on. Guys, it's a sacrafice, but someone has to do it

My hat goes off to you, Dave. ::::salute:::: We are truly a grateful nation to have warriors such as yourself to go above and beyond the call of duty so the rest of us can rest easy and continue banging rivets.

Visit to Colorado Springs
So we're flying to Colorado Springs next week to visit an old friend. Haven't been there in over 30 years!! Is KCOS the best place to go or how about one of the outlying airports, Meadow Lake or East CS? Would like a chance to chat about mountain flying - flew a couple of weeks in New Zealand but never in US (live in Michigan). Will be flying Europa XS with turbo Rotax 914. Also suggestions on where to fly and what to see.
Thanks
Jim
Europa XS N241BW

KCOS
Jim,
Go to KCOS. You can have a great burger here: http://www.solosrestaurant.com/
It's a three block walk. There are many choices of hotels. From a Holiday Express to the world renouned Broadmoor hotel: http://www.broadmoor.com/colorado-springs-resort/
Take the cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak. All sorts of "touristy" things to do.
