Day 1

Flying to Casper, Wyoming takes three flights from Baton Rouge. For us this was Baton Rouge to Dallas, Dallas to Salt Lake City and then Salt Lake to Casper.

Our Canada Air regional jet has arrived in Baton Rouge.

Since it's a small jet, we get to walk down and across the tarmac to board. Still this small jet was designed to work well in turbulent mountain air and usually gives a good ride.

Oh yeah. Mike really hates flying commercial. This is why.

So that is how they know where to stop the different kinds of planes. This is at a large gate in Dallas.

Uh oh. We are in Salt Lake now getting ready to board the final flight to Casper. The planes are getting smaller.An EMB120 turboprop. Nancy isn't too sure about this one. Mike who grew up with his father owning a single engine Cessna thinks it's cool.

Finally. At Mike's parents just in time to beat the thunder storm. When the weather clears, we will get a better picture of Casper down below and also the mountain rising in front of the house. That's it for today.
