Minneapolis...they didnt allow us over the LE TFR but did clear us into the Bravo and over KMSP about 3 miles south. First pic is two fires still smouldering on Lake Street from previous night. Other pic is going over KMSP, both about 45min before sunset tonight. Really weird seeing interstates closed.

I highly recommend the place. a coupl'a things tho:

1) don't expect fast service. I mean, it is slllllloooooooww.
2) don't show up exactly at noon on either Saturday or Sunday. apparently anyone flying in there feels, for some reason, that they have to be in the pattern at exactly 12:00 noon. 15 minutes before, fine. 15 minutes after, great. but noon is an effing zoo.

as for the fish, she got the samich, I got the platter. there was enough fish in the platter for 3 smaller meals, 2 big'uns. and it was really tasty. lemme know if you're planning on heading up that way.

So do you have to do a new weight and balance calculation after lunch? I’m thinking I would have to if I ate that samwich. One of the sad things about living here in the PNW (Idaho) is there really are no restaurants on most of the local fields or simply great places to fly to get something to eat. I envy you guys in the Carolinas for that, and the great beaches. But having lived in both North and South Carolina, I don’t envy you enough to move back.

Landing last night at the home drome. All vidoegrapher props go to @Ryanb . I need to start landing off centerline, there are some pretty big divots in the pavement along the centerline, the nosewheel bounces along pretty badly. Oh, and towards the end you can see a couple of people going for an even stroll alongside the runway. Weird...

'X' marks the approximate site of the legendary but short-lived gold mining town of La Paz, Arizona. La Paz was established in 1862 on the eastern bank of the Colorado River after gold was discovered nearby. It became the largest town in Arizona Territory with a population of 1,500 in 1864. It was the county seat of Yuma County, and for a time was a candidate to be the territorial capital. La Paz was a major transportation and supply hub, being a stop on the stagecoach line between San Bernardino, California, and Fort Whipple (Prescott), and a landing for steamship traffic on the Colorado River.

The gold mines played out by 1864, and in 1866 a flood shifted the course of the Colorado River miles away from La Paz, leaving it landlocked. The post office closed in 1875 and the town was abandoned. A new river landing was established at Mineral City (soon renamed Ehrenberg), six miles southwest of La Paz.

The La Paz name was revived in 1983 when the northern half of Yuma County was split off to form La Paz County.
