Road Trip USA

Road Trip USA 07/31/2004 02:12 AM
Road Trip USA. This simply titled site is one of the better travel sites I have seen for back-road ramblings around the USA. Not only are the routes described some of the best, the writing is extensive (at least book length), of high quality and obviously by someone who has traveled every single mile personally. I only wish I had it on my last trip. Recommended for the arm-chair or car-seat traveler alike.

Our trip back to Boston

Our trip back to Boston 06/05/2005 11:56 PM

Julian and I arrived back in Boston this evening in our new Cirrus SR20, N707WT.  The trip back was a good illustration of the pluses and minuses of small airplane travel.  Although I was fairly tired after 10 hours of flight training all day Friday and Saturday morning we departed Duluth Saturday afternoon in order to stay ahead of a line of thunderstorms.  After gazing down at the interesting colors in Lake Superior and the top portion of Lake Michigan we stopped in Pellston, Michigan near where Lakes Michigan and Huron meet and then departed for an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight around the top of Lake Huron and over Toronto into Buffalo, New York.  The lake and the city lights were quite beautiful from 7000' above sea level.  We did an uneventful instrument landing system (ILS) approach through some rain into Buffalo.  It was dark by then so it was nice to have the centerline and touchdown-zone lighting.  The FBO at Buffalo found us a $52/night hotel and we collapsed until 9:00 am this morning.

From Buffalo to Boston is only about 2.5 hours but one must cross the Berkshires (3000' high) and the forecast was for moderately low clouds, ice in those clouds, rain, and a really low freezing level due to the cold temps on the surface (only about 48 degrees in Albany today).  It wasn't safe to go under the clouds given the numerous obstructions from towers, hills, and mountains.  The Cirrus doesn't have a turbocharger so it wouldn't have been able to climb over the top of the clouds, forecast to 20,000'.  We waited on the ground in Buffalo until 3:00 pm for some of the rain to dissipate on the RADAR and for some of the temperatures aloft to warm up.  We decided to fly to Albany at 7000' and if we picked up any ice we'd go to the minimum enroute altitude (5000') and see if that was above freezing.  If it wasn't we'd continue to descend and land in Albany where we knew that the temperature would be above freezing.  We would not continue across the Berkshires where it would be impossible to descend as far or as quickly due to the mountains.

We entered the clouds about 2500' above the runway at Buffalo and broke out about 6000' above sea level.  This was a great illustration of the advantages of an instrument rating.  Instead of bumping around near the ground we were above the clouds in smooth air.  Gradually, however, we approach a wall of higher clouds.  This was the rain system we'd seen on the RADAR and that we could also see in our airplane, which has a receiver to get weather information from the XM radio satellites (this instrument runs from the Avidyne multi-function display, which had failed during a training flight and restarted automatically but then crashed and got stuck on our trip into Buffalo, so we didn't have much confidence in this).  At 7000' the main outside air temperature (OAT) gauge showed +4 degrees C.  This is the one associated with the engine-monitoring system and in most Cirrus airplanes is the only one enabled.  We had met a mechanic on Saturday, however, who knew how to reenable the OAT gauge on the primary flight display (PFD), which has its probe farther out on the wing.  This read -2 degrees C.  We asked Air Traffic Control to ask some of the airliners for temperature reports at 7000' and we learned that it was probably much closer to -2 than to +4. 

Heading towards Albany we picked up a little frost on part of the wing as the temperature dropped to -4 degrees C (or +2 if we believed the standard instrument).  We asked for 5000' and the temperature rose and the frost came off.  We asked for a routing closer to Hartford, Connecticut to stay over lower terrain and into warmer air.  ATC gave us the new routing over Westover Air Force Base in Western, MA.  The rest of the flight was uneventful though almost solidly in the clouds the whole time.  My landing wasn't quite as smooth as the ones that I had done in training though by no means was it hard.  The primary flight display (PFD) did not like the little bump, however, and drew red X's across its electronic attitude indicator and gyro compass, telling us not to trust them and to refer to the backup "steam gauges".

Our total flight time from Duluth to Boston was about 7 hours despite slight headwinds almost the entire way (this is unusual when going west to east; it is supposed to be a tailwind).  The Cirrus is a fast little plane that is economical to operate and reasonably priced.  But we couldn't fly on our schedule and we never knew whether we were going to make it through Albany or not.  The minimum airplane that is practical for transportation as opposed to recreation is something like a Piper Malibu with a turbocharger to climb above the clouds and de-icing equipment sufficient to earn FAA certification for "flight into known icing".  The Malibu would have climbed over the top of all that weather and then come down into Boston.  We never would have had to turn on the de-icing gear.

Why I haven't bl0gged about by trip to
Iceland 09/10/2004 11:27 AM
Simple. No connection. I tried keeping a paper blog on my trip to Iceland. But it didn't really work out. Frankly, it was mostly crap.

Then again, when I read my older entries, 90% of them are crap, too. (Which is normal, according to Sturgeon's Law).

When you write a blog entry, you just write it and fire. You don't go back and re-edit. Once you publish it, there's no taking it back. It's there in the Google cache, and in the Internet Archive forever. And if it was important to someone, it will be dug up. There's surprisingly little entropy in the Internet.

But that's actually cool. You see, this kind of a writing style forces you to write better the next time. You just can't go back and tinker with your text until you're happy with it. You have to learn to let go of your creation, so that you don't just keep doing the same old stuff all over again. So you learn.

The internet allows us to produce more crap than ever before. But at least we'll be better at doing it. :)

New York Trip report

New York Trip report 06/01/2004 12:49 AM

Here's what I learned on my trip to New York City:

• the old Continental-powered Piper Malibu is a lot quieter and smoother than the newer Lycoming-powered Piper Mirage (flew down from Boston in a couple of for-sale Malibus)
• the Petra exhibit at the Museum of Natural History is inspirational--it might be time to take a leaf from Indiana Jones's book and head over to Jordan
• there are several good shows at the Metropolitan, as usual
• the Whitney Biennial was one of the best in a long time.  At least 20 percent of the works were charmingly creative.  The show just ended but it might still be worth taking a trip to the Whitney because they've concentrated the best of their permanent collection on the fifth floor and also brought in some Thomas Hart Benton murals from Connecticut.  [If you want to get into the Biennial for 2006 just take a page from one of Edward Tufte's books and blow it up to wall size, then reverse it and stick it next to the first enlargement... that's what one of the artists in the exhibit had done.. without credit to Tufte.]
• the RM seafood restaurant on 60th between Madison and Park is fantastic and for the summer does a weekday $20 3-course lunch menu that is as good as any meal I've had in Boston at any price, www.rmseafood.com
• seeing Shrek 2 with a 4-year-old girl is fun but the movie is disappointing after Shrek 1.

No New York experience is complete without at least one cabbie story.  The fellow who drove me to LaGuardia Airport was a Coptic Christian from Egypt (the Copts are the descendants of the original Egyptians who built the pyramids, etc.; after the Arab invasion of 640 A.D. they've survived as a minority within their ancient homeland).  Fully trained as a lawyer in Egypt, he came to the U.S. 12 years ago.  "The Muslims were making it harder and harder for Christians to survive.  I was just starting out so I decided to start in the U.S.  Of course the situation in Egypt is much worse now for Copts than it was back then."  He couldn't work here as a lawyer easily because Egyptian law is based on the Napoleonic code rather than cases.  "I got a degree in networking from NYU and worked at a French bank in mid-town until 2001 when they downsized their IT department."  Since then he has been driving a cab.  How does he like living in New York compared to Egypt?  "I came here to escape the Muslims but now they are coming to America.  They may appear to accept American values but 15 years from now you'll see that they haven't.  They can't stop fighting Christians and they hate the West because it represents Christianity.  Americans don't understand anything about Islam."
