Morning of Departure
Today is the day. I just checked the weather for Santa Monica:
For the non-aviators, the wind is calm, visibility is 10 miles and the sky is clear. The forecast for nearby LAX shows that clear skies are expected all day.
I am hoping to be in the air around 10:00 and on the ground in SMO by around noon. After a short break to stretch my legs, I will be back in the air headed east. Unfortunately this means entering the southwest furnace in the heat of the day, which is not great for flying or comfort. The good news is that my goal is modest. I want to get out to the AZ border. I am actually planning to divert from the route for an overnight in Laughlin, NV (KIFP). There aren't many places to stay at airports along the route between Barstow and Kingman, AZ.
