Marcus, The last time I flew mine, in 2013, we (Matt Paxton, Gene Rambo and myself) took the northern route, with stops at Grant County WV (W99), Green County PA, (WAY), Wynkoop Field (6G4) in Mt. Vernon OH, Starke County IN (OXI), Joliet IL (JOT), Poplar Grove IL (C77) and on into Brodhead (C37). All of those stops have grass runways available. We spent the night in Mt. Vernon and Mr. Wynkoop (who regularly attends Brodhead) was kind enough to drive us into town to a nice Bed & Breakfast.The only bad terrain was immediately west of Grant County, crossing the ridge of the Allegheny highlands. Much lower than what I have to fly over if I go a more direct route over southern West Virginia. Between Roanoke and Beckley I have to get my Pietenpol up to 6,000=99, and it doesn=99t like it much.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia
