The eaglerey is sitting at the Boyne City airport waiting for nice weather so Sharon and I can enjoy the fall colors from above. <br />The trip north from Brighton only took 48 hours?????. 200 miles came on Thursday when I took off from Brighton with warm <br />temps and broken clouds. Climbed to 2500 feet and enjoyed the ride for the first 2 hours. I knew there was a line of storms <br />north of Traverse City but the line was thin and I was sure they'd be long past by the time I got there. They were but they left <br />clouds behind with temp 14/14 dew point. 68 nm short of destination I came down on Bear Lake with visibility now down to <br />maybe 2 miles and ceiling around at 600 agl. I know, I was turning around when I saw the lake on radar, one mile to lake, 10 <br />miles to closest airport. From 4:00 Thurs til Saturday morning the ceiling never got above 500 feet, then Saturday there were <br />more storms in the area so it was noon before the skies cleared. The weather will be stormy for two more days, maybe we'll <br />get some flying in on Tues or Wed.<br />
