this morning at 0600. Was a wise decision on my part, for a change. Had 110

I approached the mountains on the east side of Laramie, my ground speed dropped
to 50 mph with turbulence up to 10,500 feet. The third hour was spent crawling
into Laramie.

What size chute are you looking for? I have two 500 lb BRS's I have no use
for any more. One is new and never been installed and the other was only on
for a short time.
Both would need to be inspected as they are out of date.

John
Delighted to hear you've made such good progress. All Kolbers are watching/listening
& cheering you on I'm sure. And even non-Kolbers like me.
The few times I've crossed the Rockies I've followed the 4-lanes, don't recall
having to go over 6-7K or so. As I recall, Billings, Jackson, Rawlins & then way
south.
All the best,
fair winds,

Very doable with some decent winds. Getting over the Rockies is the primary mission
and the most difficult due to winds and weather. Today, the mkIII did
not want to climb much over 10.000 feet. That would put me in a bind getting

Russ K/Kolbers:
Times have changed, I reckon, since you flew those routes. Field elevation at
Laramie is 7284 and Rawlins is 6817, as are most of the air fields west of Laramie.
I prefer the shorter routes than following the Interstate Highways, but
do not hesitate to use any pass I need to get safely across the Rockies or any
other mountain.
With winds gusting to 40 mph, especially from the West, just ain't productive to
try and fly through that over the Rockies.
I think I can fly from here to the Rock House Thursday if the wind cooperates a
little.
