too high. I choose the Alvord because I would have a tailwind coming back. I
liked the scenery from the last flight, so I again climbed up to 6000 for t
he view. The second picture has the only wildlife that I saw on the whole tr
ip. Its hard to see since I am 1000 feet agl, but there is a line of "mustan
gs" just in front of the plane shadow. The rest is just scenery. Even though
there is 11 pictures, none are bigger than 400 k's

uch the temps came down and they dropped 16 degrees when running normal with
out leaning. It was heating up rapidly, and I had no inclination to dodge Du
st Devils, so I turned for home.

As a matter of fact there are the usual plans for the Rock House fly-in. We
will gather Sept 8th until everyone gets tired and goes back home. It
rarely last more than a week.

I will have some gas available, and if more is needed we can go get some.
Meals are group affairs, but you should arrive with any speciality items
that you may require. The area is a bit remote from what you may be used to.
The runway is dirt, and quite smooth. The taxi ways are a bit less so.
There is about 2800 feet of smooth runway. The altitude is just under 4000
feet. There are tiedowns and plenty of room for camping.
You can either drive in, with or without a plane if you are so inclined. Or
even arrive in a "spam can". Our only requirement is an interest in planes
and a nice temperament. Grouches will be ejected.
