There were a lot of single engine planes parked along the side of the runway. Some were trikes, others were tail-draggers.
Some had large tires so they could land on rough landing strips.
People who spent the night camped right by their planes or drove to town to stay in a hotel.
The flight up from Los Angeles (Bracket Field, KPOC) is about 700 miles. The scenery changes from dry desert and mountains and canyons to greener fields and forests.
A number of interesting features were easily visible during the flight:
Mono Lake in front of the Sierra Nevada.
Palmdale Airport (PMD) - Aerial View
A rock Quarry or Strip Mine
Two refueling stops were required each way, and the weather was not always perfect:
Greg's brother's plane, N9099B, being refueled.
Rain but no windshield wipers
Garden Valley, ID, and the South Fork of the Payette River were very beautiful:
