Just talked to Lynn via cell phone. He was in Bald Knob Arkansas and planning on staying there tonight. Said he just had a dinner of crawfish and alligator. With that kind of meal we know he is getting down South. Hopefully, he will be in Texas tomorrow and we can get him some einchaladas and maybe a margarita or two.

Thanks Jimmie. I also talked to Lynn last night at length (is there any other way with Lynn?) so I'll add a bit more to this about his flight yesterday.
First of all, he was airborne out of Gilbertsville (M34) about 0830 in smooth air with his destination Sercy (KSRC). Although smooth it was hazy due to forest fires to the south so he wasn't able to get much visibility. After stopping enroute at Wynne for gas the weather began to deteriorate, turbulence increased, and it was getting windy. He got to within 3 minutes of Sercy, but all he could see was black sky, very little visibility, and he was getting bounced around to the point that he made a good decision. He did a 180 and went back to an uneventful landing at Bald Knob AR (M74). When taxiing in he met a guy who took him on a tour of his sawmill and told him about the bears that hang around there. I don't believe he had any close encounters. He also told him they were about to get hammered with weather and offered to put Lynn's airplane into his hangar for the night, then truck him to town for dinner and a motel. Lynn was happy after the gator chunks and crawfish etoufe, tucked warmly into a $42 a night motel, and waiting to see what the weather will bring tomorrow. Forecast isn't good. The point is that he's safe, the airplane is safe, he's not on a schedule, and if he has to spend a day or two eating gator, so be it.
Total airtime for the day was 2.8 hours and 272 miles.
