This year, assuming I have my AC ready, I plan to fly to Arlington completely via dead reckoning. Last year I managed to fly back that way but going up cheated and used my GPS a couple times. Probably could have done it without but I really didn't want to venture into a MOA or some illegal part of Boeing's space. For you folks up in the foggy NW corner of the state... any tips on good topographic features for waypoints between Chehalis (where I'll leave the comfort of I-5) and either Spanaway or Lake Tapps? Seems like last year that was an area that sort of "looked the same"- lots of little rivers and lakes and roads and powerlines. Of course I don't want to venture into the Rainier MOA. Also, last time I flew through a beautiful "gap" between mountains. Neat site passing a gorgeous J3 and exchanging wing wags. I think this was the area just S of Issaquah but I don't remember fully. Pretty area though and a natural place to fly through to stay E of the masses. Am I remembering correctly? Who else is planning to go up this year? Let's get a SQUADRON and do a formation fly-by!!! You have a month to get ready- let's do it!!! Joa Prineville, OR ================================================================== TO UNSUBSCRIBE go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
