Re: 2017 Fly-In Flight Following
Hello all. We are all still alive. Here's the story:
Left Mobidge this morning and got as far as Lemon SD where we stopped to allow fog to clear. While waiting we did a more thorough look over of the airplanes and found a crack in the muffler of the Avid. We couldn't find anyone who could help us there, so we backtracked to Mobridge where a shop would repair the muffler. In the mean time Av8rSed caught up to us.
We ate lunch while the muffler was welded, returned to the airport and put the plane back together.
We made it as far as Miles City Montana where we are overnighting in the FBO.
Tomorrow we hope to get to Columbus MT where we will get more informed on getting around the TRF and get to billings where we will turn south down the valley into Idaho.

Glad you are all OK. Saw the turn back and wondered what was up.
Re: 2017 Fly-In Flight Following
Glad it was just a muffler and your back on your way safely. Enjoy.

Many of us were "riding along with you guys". Well done. Looked like a great trip!
