Leg 14: Kauer Private (Box Elder SD) to Keyhole 01WY (Moorcroft WY)
Blustery, stormy ride over the Black Hills to picturesque Keyhole in Wyoming. 82 nm 0:49:00 enroute.
Departing Kauer and passing enormous Ellsworth AFB:
Rapid City SD to the south:
Dodging a low and lightning filled storm line as we enter the Hlils, but we break out into clear weather:
Higher elevation up ahead, so we’ll need to gain some height; the PT-6 is humming nicely and giving us max performance after SU4:
Headed back down, Inyan Kata off the nose to port - a good landmark before the turn into Keyhole approach:
Picking up I-90 again before we turn north to Keyhole:
Keyhole is a neat two strip field bordered by the town of Pine Haven and the waters of Keyhole Reservoir and the State Park.
