Flying around Ohio

Cathy Boyko signed my hood, and she made a special-edition PURPLE thumbtack for where she lives in Canadia! 😀  (Yes, Canada is spelled like that intentionally); see the post below for pictures of her PURPLE Scirocco!

Last night went to the REAL Crispie Creme Donut store in Chillicothe, OH.

Today, we flew in Daun’s Cessna 172 to Urbana, OH to have breakfast. On the way, we saw Dayton, OH, and the Air Force Air and Space Museum. We met friends at Urbana, OH. We flew in formation out of there. From the air we saw the F-16s parked at Springfield-Beckley.

Then we rode in Daun’s Mk1 Scirocco to a flea market, and I bought a thermoelectric cooler for $20. Maybe that will keep me from having to carry 40lbs of Ice!!

Next, we returned to the airport at Clinton County, and saw the Ohio Highway Patrol aircraft – the one on the signs marked “Speed enforced from aircraft”.  We flew back in a tail dragger Cessna 180.

Next: we fly a Piper Arrow.

All of the Kentucky Pictures!

I met up with upoo2 for some Kentucky Fried Chicken in Louisville, KY. That’s where it started, you know…

Then drove to Frankfort for the Capitol, and took a beautiful US highway up to Cincinnati, then finally on to Dayton to Daun’s place.

Memphis

Went to Graceland and signed the wall.

Then we went back into Arkansas to take pictures of the city. There was a fire burning, so we went into Memphis to find that fire. It turned out to be an abandoned paper mill on fire…

We also visited the Civil Rights museum, where Martin Luther King, Jr was shot.

Arkansas

Well, I had this post all ready, but then Firefox crashed and I had to reinstall it to make it work again!
Anyway, passing through Oklahoma: Checotah – the home of Carrie Underwood of American Idol fame.

Oklahoma City, OK

I met up with Sandrunner, and we took pictures of the Capitol, then went to a cool gas station/resturant on old US-66 called Pop’s. It was awesome!

Departed Austin, TX

I left Morio’s place around 5:45. I am meeting Jesse and his wife in Waco for breakfast.

Next stop: Okalahoma City!

Thanks again to Morio and his family for their hospitality, and thanks to the Texas VW folks who came to Morio’s party and donated to the fuel fund!
