Friday morning

Hanging out in the highly air conditioned terminal building at El Dorado Arkansas, almost ready to leave. The plane is preflighted, the paperwork is done, and we are ready for the last leg to Mobile. The weather should basically be nice the whole way so long as we arrive before the 2pm thunderstorms, except for a little low IFR which is probably just ground fog on the route. Once again we are among the last to leave - it's been our MO for this race! The folks here have been wonderful, especially Josh the stop chair (and his entire family who have been helping out with rides and other things) and Michael.

Another hot day on the ramp as we prepare the plane to leave for our final stop on our journey. It seems over too soon. We have established an easy routine of who does what and when and it flows well. It will be a challenge to get back to doing it all myself for future flights without my partners.
