Meet Up Locations Traveling to Las Cruces

I’ve decided to return to my original plan. On Tuesday, October 16, we will be arriving in Fredericksburg, Texas. We’re going to spend the afternoon downtown, shopping and sightseeing, before having dinner and spending the night at the Hangar Hotel. On Wednesday I’m hoping to have lunch at the Diner at the Hanger Hotel then depart for LRU. We are planning a fuel stop at Pecos, where folks brag on their brisket burritos. Guess I’ll have to have a light lunch at the diner if I’m going to have burritos a couple hours later! It looks like we’ll be meeting up with Lynn Nelsen and George and Murray Sellers at T82. The trip out should be fun!

Yes, I was kind of hoping for a little more help, but really, it doesn't look to difficult from OKC. In fact, although we had intended to overnight in Fredericksburg, TX, going out there, we've been looking at a more direct route, which takes us through Oklahoma, From Mountain View we could stop at Ada, OK (KADH), then Plainview, TX (KPVW), the Roswell, NM (KROW), then go down between MOAs and restricted areas by crossing HOPET, then WHOLE, then WIKKR, then KLRU. I'll be doing flight following and checking just to see if I might be able to cross the restricted areas and skip the loop around them. The flight has an MEA mostly at 5500 or lower, except for that stretch southwest of Roswell, where it goes up to 8300.

If you just enter the route:

1K4 KPVW KROW HOPET WHOLE WIKKR KLRU

into Foreflight you can see what it looks like on the map (I'm thinking you'll leave from Perry).
