I arrived back at MMI at about 1530 today. Had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone and visiting with the Frantz's.

Got back home this afternoon after stopping in NY last night. It was good meeting people and putting faces with names I've only seen online, I only wish I could've arrived earlier and had more time to visit with everybody. Big thanks to Homer and Clara even though AFAIK they don't read this list.
I may be the luckiest man in the bunch, though. On the way down I drove over a depressed storm drain and bent the axle on my trailer. After clamping a reinforcement bar onto the axle I decided to continue to Homers, and indeed had no more trouble with it. But, about a mile from home I glanced in the rear view mirror and noticed the trailer wheel on the other side was wobbling. I kept going, and by the time I pulled into the airport the wheel was just about off, totally destroyed. I doubt it would have made another mile. Pretty good timing, on a 500+ mile round trip!

Steven:
Glad you had a good flight.
Got a report from Homer soon after everyone departed in front of impending thunderstorms in the area. Homer was more than impressed with all that flew in. If all the participants had a good time, then multiply that by the number of participants and you will understand how much Homer enjoys this event.
Hopefully, he will attend next year's Monument Valley Flyin. We talk about it every year, but something always comes up with priority over MV.
Sorry I could not make it, but would have been miserable trying to fly, camp, and hang out with a burned inner forearm. Maybe next year.
Take care,

You could have prevented the trailer problem by flying the US to Homer's instead of trailering.
My first long cross country in my US, 1984, was 500 sm round trip, Gantt IAP, Alabama, to Tallahassee, Florida, and return.
I understand why a lot of folks don't fly cross country on weekends. Its the old, "got to be at work at 0800 Monday morning" syndrome. I was lucky. Have done all my civilian flying totally retired. Never had to worry about getting back to work on time.
Take care,

John, I would have loved to... but all the staring I did at the sectional chart didn't change the lack of UL-friendly airports for refueling between my home and Homer's. And yes, unfortunately I have to be at work tomorrow morning.

Steven,

Glad your trip back home was uneventful. It was a real pleasure having
you stay with us!
Got to fly over to Shreveport North again yesterday and meet some other
interesting people.
