Finally, after two years since New Cuyama and Flabob flyins, and one engine overhaul later, I went Flamping¹ again!

CFI Michel from Aerodynamic Aviation has been organizing these fly outs and I joined upon learning of this one. Kern Valley airport L05 is a familiar campground to me, always a great destination, and a base for day trips. This campground has soft grass, trees for shade and super clean open-air showers with a view of the Kern River flood plain.

On Fri I sneaked out of VIP TFR and flew to New Cuyama, CA (L88) #flyin . Enjoyed fancy group dinner at Cuyama Buckhorn (excellent food) while Blue Sky Center hosted on-airport camping and movie night (“Only Angles Have Wings”). Next day I flew via Cajon Pass into Riverside, CA Flabob Airport (RIR) to Low&Slow flyin. Camped and ate well. On Sun marine layer lingered until 11 and short five hours later I was home. Fun was over, back to work.

My last backcountry camping flyin of the year at Lone Pine, CA. Making it count (safely).
