Here I am in Cedar City UT. Battled rain wind and low ceilings through KS,OK,TX yesterday. Looks like I'll be playing TFR pinball in OR and WA. I hope to get thru WY today. Thanks for the support from everyone.
Onward!

Northwest TFRs
You should check the ceilings of our TFRs. My experience is most of them are below 10,000. Easy peezy to get over and less smoke. It is probably the minimum altitude you want to be anyway on a warm afternoon on the high desert, unless you enjoy getting your a$$ kicked.

Good afternoon everyone
Just received a report from Joel on his 48 state trip. Joel had a leisurely stay in a motel last night at Cedar City Utah and departed this morning for Tonopah Nevada. He must have determined it was too to for his trusty tent.
He did report after leaving Tonopah this morning, climbing to 11,000 feet and after a period of time he did experience what appeared to be ignition problems. The engine started running quite rough etc.
However, all returned to normal quickly and after landing at Lake Tahoe,
Joel inspected all mag wires, ignition connections etc and everything appeared normal. Running the engine again showed nothing unusual.
Joel reports his next leg to Pendleton Oregon has numerous TFR's and restricted areas to deal with which obviously will slow his progress. I expect to hear from him again in approximately 3 hours.
He continues to be thrilled with the trip and having a wonderful time.....
Stay tuned

flying over water or remote, rough terrain will cause an engine to run rough. It's a fact.

Certainly a mission worthy of 007. Good luck and safe travels!

Good evening
Just heard from Joel who after landings at Pendleton Oregon and Walla Walla Washington just landed in Lewiston Idaho for the night. All is well and no more rough engine problems.
Tomorrow's first stop will be in Billings Montana 476 miles down the road.
Stay tuned

Lots of heavy smoke between Idaho and Billings. Go high you should find clear sailing.
If you need to stop early Townsend(8u8) has $5.10 gas.
Safe travels Joel

Good evening all
I just received a phone call from Joel in Branson, Missoujri. Joel began his day in Fargo North Dakota and then on to Fergus Falls Minnesota, Sioux City Iowa, Tekamah Nebraska and ending up in Branson.
Joel's been dealing with high winds and heat all day but all is going well and he's anxious to continue in the morning.......
Stay tuned
