Sundat June 19th JC to Columbus

Early morning start. Short message. Wonderfool trip over the mountains. Breakfast on Fly In Twin Bridges.. On to Three Fork for FUel. Started with Rick , Dean, Pat, Alan and Ralph. Flew on west with Rick and Dean. Then Rick engines started to withold its breath now and again. So we decided for a stop in Columbys MT. By pure accident the engine had been renewed there by Al Rickman. An mr. Rickman was at the airport on the Fathersday. Compression on 3 cylinders 100%. On one 70%. Rick Papp stays in Columbus to help mr. Rickman with the repair. I flew on with Dean Norsvik. But because of an storm (part of a tornado that hit Billings) we returned after 10 minutes. So we had a great dinner sleep in a motel. Today Dean and I will have another try for Minneapolis. Maybe I can board the Frontier Flight to Alaska there tomorrow. I put in those great sights we had on our route. Enjoy!
