Good wind to goal!
Very very fast flight and lots of clouds during the flight.. but good visibility. I forgot to allow autopilot so had to be trimming all the time.. but the plane is good in stability.. and didn't find too much turbulences. At the landing I had too much strong wind with 24knots lateral comming from the right and some windshears.. GLUPS!! was a hard landing but good finally and now I am waiting in the platform and uploading some photos until next leg.

Too much clouds and rain around. Had to take the GPS ground proximity function to exit that trap! My biggest fear was to not have thrust to achieve the necesary altitude. But this time I put less fuel to be lighter. I had a warning since almost begining of trip because of low fuel.
The arrive was normal and no problem during flight.

Ahhh sorry for no announcing departures.. ok.. next time will do.
Have just completed the leg to KSBS. I got a lot of fears at the end of the flight because my engine was dieing. Lots of clouds.. lot of fog.. low temperature... icing.. :isadizzy:
I almost was near crashing.. when I was loosing the engine power at 500 AGL from ground.. but finally the fuel pump made the trick..
Sooooo I landed smooth and lot of brake because touched at the middle of the runway.. but save and smooth.
Sorry about the pictures.. during week I don't have too much time to edit and upload the pictures..
Here is the report:

Going to the airport of KSBS to pick up my plane to KBDU.
Edit: Ended.. Good and very fast flight. The clouds where gone and no problem this time with the engine.. all fast and good tail wind! The descent through mountains to airport was vertiginous!

going to Boulder airport to trip to KLXV. Hope not clouds there or could not land... will see.
LANDED: Well, very slow.. had almost the same time as yesterday but 10 nm less.. Was because I had to climb more and because I overpass the runway so had to turn.. too much speed I had.
At the end didn't have any clouds.. don't know, thought I would have, because saw them in SkyVector. Anyway...

Ok.. I see, next flight is only 25nm so I start again to KASE.
Landed: Decided to go round through the valley instead of climbing.. don't know if it was good decision or not.. but here it what I did:

Going to make the long leg.. to KGCN.. some desert textures around.
eDIT: When the desert is as nice as this one is a pleasure to fly over it! Smooth, but with head wind.
