Once again we cross a border, the one dividing Idaho from Wyoming. Our destination, Melody Ranch, offers just a very short grass strip but, given the name, we might expect to find there a musical welcome party. If you feel uneasy with the lenght of the runway (it's not impossible, I did it), and dislike music, a few miles up north there's Jackson Hole's airport, with far more comfortable facilities. But that would be unfair, and anticipating a part of the next flight.

Glad you finally got untied. When I finally realized what time it was, and joined the flight, I popped into a beautiful sunset. It was a very nice flight, what I had of it anyway.
