We’re in Pecos Texas staying at the Best Western hotel next to the airport. I just ate the worst Chicken Fried steak I’ve every had and after an entire day in the Cub I am beat.

It was a pretty eventful day. Dallas was cloudy and windy. We had to make a diversion on our first leg because the wind was too strong and we couldn’t make the first stop. Once we hit Breckenridge the clouds starting clearing but we ended up with a 20 mph wind off the nose so we were averaging about 60 mph ground speed. It’s pretty embarrasing getting passed by cars when you’re flying next to the freeway. We’re hoping that tomorrow the wind will be a little more favorable.

Click on the map above for some photos from today’s route. The pictures don’t go all the way to Pecos because I didn’t have the GPS on for the later pictures. I’ll be sure to catch everything tomorrow.

Below are the videos from today. We took one before we took off, somewhere in the middle, and at the end of the day.

Lastly, we had a litle mishap with the plane. The wing got backed into the hanger and damaged the aeleron, but only slightly. It shouldn’t have an effect on the flight characteristics.

Ok, It’s late and we are up at 6 AM. More pictures from tomorrow and hopefully we have no wind or tail winds.
