Flight to Kanab, UT

Today I flew to Kanab with my granddaughter, Taylor, as my copilot.  We had a really fun trip.  We left SVR at 9:00 am and flew to Kanab arriving at 11:30 am.  It was a fairly smooth ride.  We hit a little bit of turbulence over the mountains south of Panguitch, but otherwise a pretty nice ride.  When we got to Kanab we checked in with Jeff Turner, the airport manager and borrowed the courtesy car and drove over to hour house in the Kanab Creek Ranchos.   Our house is located almost directly west of the north end of runway 19.  You have to do a little wondering around to get there.  Because there are only 2-places to cross over Kanab Creek there is not a direct route.  We went to the house and then Taylor drove us to Subway for lunch.  After lunch Taylor drove us around town and then we went back to the airport.  We took off for home at 1:00 pm.  The wind was 190^o at 13.  We took off on runway 19 then circled the Ranches gaining altitude.  After reaching 7500’ we headed north.  Because of the wind and thermal activity it turned out to be a pretty bumpy ride all the way up to the Salt Lake valley.  We arrived at SVR at 3:30 pm.  It was a fun day, and because Taylor had her cell phone and I had a MP3 player she was able to listen to music almost the entire trip down and back.  She was a happy flyer.
