As a back up for navigation, I had a complete set of road maps, obviously I flew the whole trip VFR. 3 days out and 6 days back because of a cold front the moved very slowly across the country and I had to follow the front because there was no way I was going to fly through all the thunderstorms.

I love it. Flying by the seat of your pants. Nice. BOLD piloting, sir.
