Description
Well, it took two years of cajoling but you finally talked your in-laws into leaving the peaceful flats of eastern Colorado for a long weekend at a Laramie, Wyo., dude ranch. Although you usually identify with visions of John Wayne clad in leather flying helmet and white, flowing scarf, this weekend conjures images of the Duke slugging it out with cattle rustlers complete with 10-gallon hat and trusty steed.
The trip will take you into some high terrain, but your trusty Cessna 182 has always performed well up high and has been a bear for hauling Texas-sized loads wherever you've asked it to go.
Little did you know that your in laws snuck some cast-iron, cowboy cookware into their luggage. (You never should have trusted them to load it in themselevs.) They also neglected to share info regarding a recent trip to the family doctor. It's hard enough doing the mental math in thin air while weaving in and out of the tops. You didn't need one of your passengers to throw their wrench in the works.
You may find that you feel less like the Duke and more like the Lone Ranger before this one is over. Answers on page 20.
