Rick,

I purchased my plane in Carson City. I had to get back and forth to 
Reno 4 times. I just took an airport limo. It cost less than $20.00 
and took about 20 minutes. There is not much to see there but there 
is gambling and a lot of room.

When I flew back, I bought WAC charts. The highest mountains were 
about 16,000 ft., so I went up to 17,500. The temperature on the 
ground was over 100 degrees. At 17,500 ft. it was still 50 degrees. 
My little O-320 still gave me 180 kts. My first stop was Peublo, CO. 
All of the mountains were behind me by that time.

I thought that the biggest thing to watch out for were the MOAs. I 
think that about 50% of that region of the US is military operating 
area.

Lorn
