2019 Cross Country 101 Clinic / FL / Who is going to?

Post by wmelo »

Hi Guys,

I am motivated to participate in the 2019 Cross Country 101 Clinic, March 16-23 2019.
However, I am not very excited about driving along from VA to FL.
Is anyone going to participate in this event?
What about sharing a ride?

Walt,
I am signed up for the 2019 Cross Country Clinic 101. I would offer to share a ride, but as you may recall our cramped ride back to launch at the Pulpit (remember us 5 guys in a Ranger pickup cab?), I expect to be pretty cramped with gear and toys, so while I am glad to hear that someone local is interested in the event, I am not sure the room is going to be sufficient for the Florida trek. I may be interested in a caravan however and wanted to respond to your post in hopes that others in the area might be interested. Anyone going to Green Swamp the week after?

Walt,
I got your text about the 2019 Cross Country Clinic 101 - As my son used to say at the USMMA - "it's time to reappropriate some of our resources". Like leaving the kayak home... I think we should try to work this into a road trip and work out the details. Give me a call or let's set up a time we can talk and figure how to make this an epic adventure!

Great news guys!
I think you'll love it. Do it!
I am going down to Quest air, Wednesday, April 17nd. Free flying for a few days, dusting off rust, and thereafter flying Week 2 comp, sports class. Flying back home April 27.
Ric C will transport my wing, while I'll be flying to Florida.
This might be an option too, (week 2) but prices are higher now, compare to when I bought Southwest tickets.
