Default Hib (Hibbing MN) to Rfg (Refugio Tx)

I lifted off from Hib at first light on 10/11. 3.2 later landed at RDK (Redoak, IA) to do a quick gas an go, Ha!. A couple of guys dashed over and say "we saw you land from over at the bowling alley" Thus added 20 minutes of RV dialog.
Next stop MLC (Malester OK), No quick stop here as planned yup, more RV questions. Got to be a good RV ambassador you know--. Next stop my destination RFG (Refugio TX).
Total 9.2 hrs with a head wind the whole way
(Same trip last year was only 8.0) I flew on top about 2/3 of the way--smoooth at 6500'. landing at both RDK and MLC. I encountered gusty winds but its mostly a non event in my "9" just drive it like you mean it.
The trip home was not quite as planned, almost the same route but with 3 weather stops (3T5-K59-POH) and one overnite CNU (Chanute KS) A great stop!.
Just another RV adventure in the bag.

Default Map overlay program.

Frank,

That looks like Delorme Street Atlas version 9 you used for the GPS map overlay. I have been using that one for years on my web site.
