MARANA, AZ. AVC

I stopped here today for several hours because the FBO had hi speed Internet.

This is hot dry country...dusty...windy

I had head winds today of 30-40....

This is a nice place to visit but I don't think I could get use to the weather...

Happy Birthday To ME

From Vegas I was headed to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
I called the family newspaper, Junior Crehan, and he informed me that we had family in the Phoenix AZ area.....so what is the Grand Canyon compared to family that you haven't seen in 20 plus years.....
Here is Harmoni, my second cousin,that I had never met......she signed my cowling.
