Why I love my RV
Well, after a year of flying, two trips to oshkosh and several few hour cross countries.....GHOST was in need of some bigger trips.
VANS HOMECOMING was the reason we used. We took 10 days and flew the following. ALL BIRDS RETURNED WITHOUT ISSUE. Unbelievable number of miles.
We had 6 ships head out, we overnighted in Bismarck and Great Falls Montana before heading to Independence. Good people all along the way and our hosts in independence could not have been nicer.
Side trip to vans factory to see where all my money went, and then met the king himself in independence.
Side trip to McMinnville with friends to see that goose and other great sights.
Side trip to California just to say we did...
Side trip to Crater lake, just to say we did.
More to come. 10 days. 10 beautiful states, 5 provinces, just shy of 6000 st miles. Wife loved it all. What an incredible airplane, and great trip. Keep builidng, you have no idea how much fun it can be to be able to experiene something like this.
More pics to come.

familiar sights
The last picture on post #3 is a little knob on the ridge east of I-5 as you go north from Shasta valley toward Siskiyou summit, almost right on the Oregon/California border. I have circled it many times in my glider. Hope you met nice glider folks in Montague/Siskiyou Co.

thanks
Correct, wife pointed that out on charts as we got close. Pilot rock..hope there wasnt a reason for that.
As for east coast trip, sorry Vlad, I have to get back to work to prep for fuel bill coming in. Yikes. 
When I was building I always enjoyed the trip stuff, nice to finally be able to experience it myself. Beautiful countries we live in and the RV is just the ideal machine to get to the pretty spots.
Cheers, Rick
