I didn't make it to Copperstate this year , but I woke up Saturday morning to some beautiful weather, so I packed up the airplane & flew with 3 other friends (yes, I do have some friends) in that general direction. Leaving Denver, we crossed the Rockies, over Wolf Creek Pass, the Sangre de Cristos, circled around Shiprock, flew down Canyon de Chelly, then over to Monument Valley to have lunch at Goulding's Lodge. Then on to Bullfrog, and stayed the night at the Defiance House Lodge on Lake Powell (the poor lake's down 100' I was told). Flew back yesterday morning. One of these days before too long I'll be doing trips like that in my Kitfox - maybe taking a little longer & enjoying it even more!
