Day 7: Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Much of the same as the other days, bad weather. Had to file IFR flight plan to get out of LA. Had to change a few of the airports because of weather. Still managed to make it to KY although we wanted to end up n WV. There is going to be so many people we have to thank at the end of this. General aviation has to be the one thing that we do where every airport we landed at the people go out of their way to be helpful, even before we tell them our story. It makes us very proud to be part of the general aviation community. Today we landed in SC right before a big storm followed us in. The people there opened up their hanger to let us park inside so our airplane wouldn't be damaged by hail. Inside the hanger were all multi-million dollar airplanes and now our cherokee six.



In SD, Rick went back to the airport at 2:00AM because he heard a storm coming in and put our airplane in his hanger. In PA I was hungry and the guys went into town to get me a burger, and it goes on and on and on. It will take us days to write down all the people we have to thank. Hope to make it home tomorrow if the weather holds out.
