[Guyana-Mission-Report] Trip to Guyana #1

Here's an update on our long trip to Guyana.   Monday (Sept. 20) - Everyone was working hard to get the airplane ready to go.  Our original goal was to depart early Sunday morning, but we kept encountering things to do. When it comes to airplanes, there is an endless list of things to do.  Mike, Larry, and Andy (the mechanics) did an awesome job getting the airplane ready to fly. By 4pm Luke (my cousin) and I were airborn.  First stop - Mt. Hood.  I was going to scatter the ashes of my Grandparents on the eastern slope of Mt. Hood as they had requested, but true to its name, "Hood was under the hood".  So unfortunately we had to abandon the idea and turn toward Walla Walla Enroute to my brother's house in Walla Walla, we dropped in to see a good friend in the Dalles.  Tuesday (Sept. 21) - Day started at 3am.  Checking weather and planning the route of flight.  By 5:30 we were out the door heading for the airport.  As the sun was rising into the sky, so were we.  Our rout of flight - head South Westerly toward Boise and cut across.  Weather was absolutely fabulous!  Hardly a cloud in the sky. Over the rockies we did encounter some turbulence which cause some airsickness, but we made it safely to Salina by nightfall.  Off to our left was a massive thunderstorm.  It put on quite the firework display.   To be continued...
