We have an extra room you can use if we are in town.

Extra training is always good, but there are passes through the Rockies that you can take and not go very high. I flew to Helena one spring when I couldn't get over 8000 ft because of clouds and still had plenty of clearance above the ground. It was a bit windy with a 35 knot tail when going (4.5 hr), but a head wind coming back (7 hr). This was in my C172.

IF you're interested in just the history of how the sub got "high and dry" in Oklahoma, go here:
