My buddy "Bull" from college has an annual summer party in Columbus, OH. A bunch of my friends from OH and MI come to it, so it's a great opportunity to have some good fun with good friends. I have driven out there before for a long weekend, but now that I have the RV, is driving really an option? 2 hours in the RV vs 6 hours in the car. No real choice there!
When I arrived at the airport, it appears as if they had installed a new windsock!
The weather didn't look fantastic for this trip. Locally the weather was fine, but expected to get worse from a system arriving from the south. In Columbus, it was practically all IFR and getting some pretty intense rain. However, the system over Columbus was supposed to move north by mid-afternoon and have clear skies. I decided to blast off so I wouldn't be stuck in MD. My original plan was to land in south-eastern OH and wait out the much over Columbus. The weather near KDMW wasn't all that bad, but it was soupy out.
Always a headwind heading west.
ADS-B was great to paint a picture of what was ahead.
The views of some of the low clouds around the mountains were really quite spectacular.
This is Garrett County Airport in western MD.
Right next to the airport is Deep Creek lake and Wisp ski resort.
More awesome views. I think I am going to break down soon and ditch the point-'n'-shoot camera for a DSLR to get better pictures.
