It's a beautiful New Year's Day here in North Texas. Just a few miles north of my home airport (KXBP) is a huge conglomeration of limestone quarries. This is where the rock originated for the concrete mix that made up DFW Airport and most of the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex. The body of water is Lake Bridgeport.

The white gashes in the White Tank Mountains are remnants of the old Caterpillar Tractor Company proving ground.
This is the town of Hope, Arizona. After you drive through the town on US 60, you pass a sign that says, "You are now beyond Hope."

Yikes!!
Do you happen to know Ernie Martin there at SZT? Ernie was the seaplane instructor at the school at LGB where I was a neophyte CFI in 1971-72.

Brrr. It is almost too cold here for me. Sixty today if we are lucky, and special VFR.
No pretty pictures to share but I did complete my first flights of the year over the past weekend. Flew my trusty Super D from NJ to Fl. Beautiful weather all the way. 29 degrees F when I departed BLM Saturday morning and about 80 when I landed at APF Sunday afternoon. Every stop included a shedding of clothes as I headed south!

Went bird hunting in mine
What was the total flight time for the trip?
I fly over those towns and wonder what the hell people do there! Is it mining or military or something else?
ForeFlight logged it at 11.1 but that includes time running on the ground. I think it was pretty close to 10 even airborne.

Trip to Grapevine Airstrip (88AZ) today. Only 70 nm from the home drome, but a world away. The terrain colors were muted by the high overcast, but amazing nonetheless.
i would think that that is one happy Citabria! lol

I enjoyed my flight a couple of weeks ago over the Salt River canyon to Grapevine (88AZ) so much, that I brought Mrs. P along this time. On the way there we flew a more southerly route past the Superstition Mountains and the huge copper mine at Globe AZ, and landed at the San Carlos Apache Airport (P13). The Apache Gold Casino is right across the highway, so we had breakfast and dropped $20 in a slot machine before heading on to Grapevine.
