Coupers; We are only in day 2, and we have had our first weather delay. I've heard VFR not recommended so many times, that I normally go look anyway. Well, this AM, it was true. We got about 20 miles before turning back to Americus, GA, and waiting for 4 hours for the weather to break. Fortunately I was able to get the Coupe in a hanger which meant that the weather turned out to be a few drops of rain. We made it into EKY, Bessemer, AL about 12:30 PM CST. Fortunately, we only
had to go 170 miles, because we had headwinds that slowed us down to as little as 68 mph. After two days, we have flown 615 miles and have 7 hours of flight time. We also drove 200 miles this afternoon in order to see the Horse shoe Bend National Historic Site. General Andrew Jackson became famous for winning this battle against about 1000 Red Stick Cree Indians in March of 1814. We did get to say HI to fellow Couper Cliff Sinclair. He said to tell every one HI. We are relaxing at the pool now before dinner. Tomorrow it is off to Beaumont, TX, if the weather cooperates. Hopefully, we will not lower our trip average speed any more. It is down to 86 mph at the moment. The Coupe is running great, and we are enjoying every moment. I wish that many of you could join us on this trek around our great USA.
