Description:
Peter Magnuson stopped here in Virginia on his way up the coast from Florida to Cape Cod, and then to return to Florida on an inland route. The weather got in the way of Plan A, so he reversed the route and flew west from here.
Here he is at Keith Brittle's nearby grass field, VA05 (Pilot's Grove), with a bit of Keith on the side.

Keith's runway is 2400 feet long, but Peter's Searey didn't use much of it to take off:

I flew west with him in my own Searey, up the James River and toward the Shenandoah Valley.

The Valley is separated from the piedmont by the first line of the Appalachian Mountains. We had to climb to about 4,000 MSL to clear them.

Interstate 64 winds through a cut in the mountains.

Close beside I-64 is W13 (Eagle's Nest airpark), where Peter's uncle lives.

I said hello to Peter's uncle, added some gas, said goodbye to them both, and prepared to head back east, over the ridges and down to Flatland.

After taking off, I discovered that there were a few problems down on Flatland, including storms that were closing in on me from three sides, as you can see in this photo of Garmin Pilot's display on my iPhone. (The course line there was an experiment. I was actually going elsewhere.) There were a couple of other problems, too, but I made it home just fine, a good five minutes ahead of the rain.
