Day 3- Part One

well some dumb guy left his computer at the computer desk at the FBO in Eau Claire Wisconsin. Fortunately it was found and is being mailed back to me at home, so updates from the trip will be difficult. Today I'm using a computer at the uiblic library in Lewistown, MT. So a quick update is in order. Monday morning we left Oshkosh, WI under threat of thunderstorm. We flew up to Eau Claire, site of the tragic computer incident, fueled up, got a weather update and headed out northwest, around Minneapolis to avoid the thunder boomers. we cleared the Bravo and headed to Watertown, SD for fuel and lunch. It was incredible to see the aftermath of the flooding thru out MN and SD. From Watertown we flew to Rapid City, SD, refueled and did a quick tour of Mnt. Rushmore from 8,000 feet. The last leg of the day was up to Belle Fourche, SD, just south of the Montana state line. All along the way we have experienced nothing but great people, amazing sites, and HIGH fuel prices. Oshkosh has been the cheapest at $5.39 per gallon.
