I will probably be visiting a friend in Ashland some time this winter in my RV-12, from KWHP, in L.A. .
What is the situation with finding hangars to keep my plane in for a few days while visiting in the area, which has more access, and also which airport is less likely to have lighter cross winds to land in for a less experienced newly minted pilot.
Will probably end up trying to keep my Rotax engine happy with filling up with Premium Mogas instead of 100LL, which isn't good for the gearbox or the rings on a Rotax 912 ULS. Are there brands of premium gas to avoid while making a purchase in Medford or Ashland, due to quality control issues, or ethanol free mogas near by?

Or should I just instead drive the 600 miles, weather wise, this time of year in Southern Oregon? Also have AWD VW Touareg, but getting up and over i-5 around Shasta in snow might not be my idea of a good time. 62, retired, I have the time to do it either way.
