Terrific job , Mike .Really appreciated .

Sorry that once again  , we cant make the Convention - wife touring Russia , and I'm on an annual bird hunt  .  As those Harley ads observe - so many roads , so little time .

Thanks Mike Larson for the newsletter! It looks awesome. Its great to see it back. Clearly a significant amount of time went into its development. We greatly appreciate your efforts.

There have been a couple of discussion threads addressing potential routes to West Yellowstone.  I asked Beau if he could make a suggestion based on his familiarity with the area.

Here's his response and an invitation to discuss alternatives:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A route suggestion to those who want to limit their mountain flying. 

From the east go KBIL, KLVS, KBZN, 9S5 and then turn south down the Madison Valley .  Approximately 30NM south of KEKS cross over Raynolds Pass (6836’) to U53 then east to KWYS.

Anyone can contact me on my cell if they want to pick my brain about any other routes.  My cell is 406-596-3100.

 At the moment we plan to spend the night in Cheyenne. Next day  it will be V118 to LAR, V 85 to MBW, V 6 to OCS, V328 to JAC, V520 to Driggs-Reed (KDIJ) then direct to WYS. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can fly the valleys .

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thank,

 Anybody heading to W.Y. fly-in from the west coast on Thursday 16? Planning on leaving Oakland early on Thursday in hopes of being at the fly-in lunch at 1:30. Always fun to fly with another 195.

We will be flying to WYS  from the deep south and would appreciate some advice on which way to travel from the Denver area. I'd like to keep below 10,000 ft. if possible, so any input is welcome.

Thanks.

Late last year Kevin McAtee suggested we add an interactive map to the website that shows the geographic locations of members.  So when planning cross country flights, for example, members can click on a dot and be provided  contact information for that member.

Well, it's finally available at the link below.  Links are also on the Members Menu under "Map"  and  on the Member Listing Page as a link on city, state/country.

Let me know any questions or suggestions.  And keep those suggestions coming...
