Pressing on towards home

[the "faux flight" continues...]

It's warmed up quickly in Moriarty, NM, now at 48 degrees, and sunny. A bit breezy at 18 mph, but right down the runway, so it's not a safety issue, just colder feeling. We will leave before 10 am to avoid the stronger winds forecast for later in the day, and head toward Boulder City, NV. The winds aloft are stronger today at 40 knots (pilots use knots instead of mph - 46 mph), so our ground speed will be only 70 knots/80 mph. Boring....

The planned route from Moriarty, NM, to Boulder City, NV, via Winslow, AZ, and the Meteor Crater. The wind
 barbs show 40-50 knots wind from the WNW.

The "flight" went well, but slowly, due to the 40 knot headwinds. Details in the usual place: Flying home
