What Next?

On Sunday The Baldwin Family Flyers and support crew all breakfasted together and then parted ways. Caroline and Bill headed out by road and reached Eagle Lake later that afternoon.  Kathleen and Cara left Marc and Lydia at the airport and then drove on to Morgantown.

Marc and Lyd flew to Eagles Mere Air Museum (www.eaglesmereairmuseum.org) in northern PA.  This was a fun experience, viewing antique airplanes and visiting a Merritt Field Airport.



The private airport has an east-west runway atop a ridge in the Pennsylvania Appalachians.  Juliet Lindrooth with team #9 and the Eastern Pennsylvania 99s, along with her husband Steve and helped arrange a fly-in for racers.  George Jenkins, Eagles Mere Air Museum president was present to welcome us.



What an amazing collection of aircraft.

Then on to the Adirondacks.  Lydia and Marc flew N15695 to Middlebury, VT for fuel and then over to Ticonderoga, NY.  Caroline and Bill retrieved Lydia and Marc at the airport and then we stocked up on food to get the summer started at the house on Eagle Lake.  Ned arrived that evening with Henry and Katie.  Henry, Katie, Marc, Lydia, Grandma and Grandpa had loads of fun that week swimming, boating, playing games, walks in the woods, training (re-training?) chipmunks and swatting mosquitoes.























Henry and Katie took their first ride in a small aircraft!
They told Mom and Dad all about it afterwards.






Stefani and Ned arrived Friday evening after leaving their former home in Scituate, MA.

Marc and Lyd left Ticonderoga airport Saturday the 28th to begin the journey back to Colorado.

Ned, Stefani, Henry and Katie left Eagle Lake on Sunday the 29th to begin the journey to their new home in Glendale, CA.
