    Default Kitfox-Cross-Country

    Kitfox Cross-Country… A common question; How is the Kitfox on a cross-country trip ? First, one would need to define what a cross-country trip is to them.
    So we receive a phone call that asks; I’m in Wala Wala, WA and would it be OK to stop by for a visit ?
    In fly’s Frank McDonald and his son Craig in a Kitfox Series 7 they are returning from an adventure that started at VPC in Carterville, Georgia. Hopefully they’ll publish some pics when they return home and share more of their adventure with us.. Here is a brief overview: 140lbs of baggage.

    John, I think Frank and Craig have pretty much defined the term "cross country" for the near future. Congrats guys.

    Wow! Cartersville is just a few miles from me. I'm in Anniston, AL.
    Well, I guess the standard has been set, so see you guys in Homedale next year!
