ALS Member Don Frank reports on his transcontinental journey:

Don left from KLAN refueled at Miles City, MT and took some enroute pics from Fargo to Cody, WY - fuel was only $5.35 /gal. Next foto is between Billings and Cody at the 8,400 ft MEA. Last rather festive foto is at the FBO, Choice Aviation, at Cody, KCOD. KCOD is in a valley so approach and departure are interesting and, despite being low in a valley, field elevation is 5,102 feet. Don is going to refresh himself on how to calculate density altitude.
