    I just got to this one. Very good. I knew there had to be a way to get down there. We need to pack up enough stuff for a few days survival, hit the trails and make some gps tracks while looking for ways to get into the canyon, the shortest ways. john ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Cottrell To: kolb-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 3:03 PM Subject: Kolb-List: finally a bit of flying weather http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0siAoTNYTZD 6KPbiDncNLfKZruRqx5nUO The above link is to my spot tracking page. I prefer to use the hybrid feature since it shows roads. There isn't much reason to have good sat pictures here so you won't be able to get in too close. The wind and weather finally moderated a bit or at least enough that I felt like flying for the first time in almost a month. My interest was to find a "two track" down into the Canyons that frame the Owyhee River that would allow me to take a quad from this side of the river. If I go the way that the roads are good I end up driving about 100 miles before I can even get on my quad. This way it is only about 50 miles of two track, and 15 hwy. It is very difficult here however because the roads are not signed, and the land is so featureless as to not be much help. So my plan was to press in GPS readings at the turns. Here in ranch country all the roads lead to water, generally a stock pond, so it can be a bit confusing actually trying to get somewhere. I flew 103 miles in an hour and 34 minutes. I used 4.7 gallons of fuel for 21.9 mpg average speed was 62 MPH There was a pretty good headwind and it was a bit bumpy over the canyon coming back home. My feet were cold by the time I got back on the ground, but it was nice to get out for a while.

    Sorry about this personal post to the Kolb List. I did not look and realize it was addressed to the List when I hit the send button. Got back from Lakeland today. Came home a day early to prevent possibly weathered in at Sun and Fun. Had a good flight. MKIII and 912 performed flawlessly. Started getting in shape again during the flight home. 850 sm round trip. Head wind and rough air going south 5.9 hours, 415 sm. Tail wind and smoother air flying north, think it was 5.0 and 435 sm. Ready to fly to MV next month. john hauck mkIII Titus, Alabama ----- Original Message ----- From: John Hauck To: kolb-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 8:01 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: finally a bit of flying weather I just got to this one.

    Subject: Good news and bad news
    From: Richard Girard <aslsa.rng@gmail.com>
    The wind finally stopped whistling down the plain long enough to get around the patch a few times this evening. The air was smooth as glass and just the thing after a day of being Grandpa. Good news, replumbing the primer line seems to have fixed the rich running I found on the trip down to Ponca City for the monthly breakfast bash two weeks ago. And the fluorescent dye in the coolant helped me find the leak at last. Bad news, the coolant leak is in the radiator core. I guess I'll find out if they recore motorcycle radiators (thank God, it's pre plastic tanks) or if I have to have one custom made. If I have to go the custom route, anybody know of a shop that's good and inexpensive? Inexpensive being relative, like under $300? Rick Girard

    What kind of M/C radiator are you using? I have used several different sorts of M/C radiators with good success, and they can usually be found in junkyards for under $75.
