On to KHQM. Lousy weather at Bowerman, had to fly the ILS approach which didn't help the trip time lol. Low ceiling, low visibility and stiff crosswind...that's what flying is all about :mixedsmi::icon_lol:

Heya TJ,

I landed just before this weather came in. Started pouring just as I came to a stop, which is a good thing since I have yet to learn ILS flying!!!

Great fun, these "rallys". Never know what you are going to get.

Lol yeah, you'll really have to read the area forcasts for mountain obscuration so you don't break you ceiling limit when you get later into the race.

Here is the summary to Hood River. Nice evening trip.
