Default Rocky Mountain Round Robin trip 6/2013
Last week of June I went on a 10 day solo trip around, through and over the Rocky's in my RV-9A. As much as a person plans and prepares for a trip... stuff happens. This sojourn was designed to connect with new & reconnect with long lost friends and to see places I?ve never been before. You could call it a ?Bucket List? trip. It had been in the planning for a couple months with numerous permutations based on potential weather delays or
just ?changes?.

It was one of the best flying trips (adventures) I've ever done. Here is the link to the trip report, complete with pictures along the way. Really looking forward to many more adventures!

Enjoy!
