Boyd and I continue our flight around America, 28 days into our dream flight. The people of California have been very good to us, fantastic in fact, but the June Gloom marine layer has been a persistent thorn in our side for days. Today, finally,...
Saturday morning at Santa Paula: We delayed our departure northbound in the RV7 several hours waiting for the southern California 'June Gloom' to dissipate. I've learned that 'June Gloom' is the annual phenomena that happens right on schedule every year in southern California. The wind coming...
Time is zipping by quickly as Boyd and I continue our flight around the perimeter of America. So far we've covered thousands of miles in our RV7 and been lucky enough to visit perimeter destinations like Niagara Falls, Cape Cod, Kitty Hawk, the Keys, Cajun...
With one full day under our belts, we are now firmly planted in the giant state of California. Our flight around the perimeter of America continues! We are overnight at a private airpark at 52CL Adelanto, just outside Victorville, California. Our hosts, Charlie and Amy...

Tonight, incredibly, Boyd and I find ourselves at the halfway point of our journey around the perimeter of America. Since arriving in Texas, the realization of how enormous it is has set in. We've flown from Beaumont in the far eastern Gulf of Texas to...
Our progress westward continues. The last 48 hours we've covered ground and water between Venice, Florida and Beaumont, Texas. That's much of the western coast of Florida, the panhandle, a tiny bit of Alabama and Louisiana, and across the line into the enormous state of...
