I've been bugging the guys at Steinair long enough and finally ordered the rest of the avionics for my panel. Instead of "wasting" money on shipping I started thinking about picking them up myself, and visiting some family up north in the process. The weather doesn't get much better across three states in October, so I invited my brother (non-current pilot) and we headed up north. Crossing the Missouri River in the morning.
Not many other pics on a clear day at 9500, except over southern Iowa we saw a gourgeously groomed grass strip that really got my attention. More on that little gem later...
My aunt and uncle met us at Lake Elmo (21D) , it felt much colder than the forecasted upper 50's.
A must stop when in the TwinCities for my Aunt/Uncle is CandyLand for a giant bag if their popcorn to take home to my girls.
