 Our Beechcraft King Air 200 at
Casper, Wyoming by Bwana_Brown, 4 more photos
The aircraft itself was very nice, seating 6 passengers and having an on-board toilet. The pilots had prepared for our needs with a couple of ice-coolers full of soft drinks, juice, beer and liquor as well as quite an assortment of snacks. We just helped ourselves whenever we felt the need. I really enjoyed cruising along in this personalized mode as we dodged various thunderstorm clouds that rose even higher than our 30,000-ft maximum altitude. There was one cell we could not avoid on landing in Regina at the end of the trip and the airplane took quite a buffeting from the storm clouds as strokes of lightning lit us up! Some of the guys were understandably quite nervous but I have been on so many flights that I just enjoyed the action - and opened another cold beer!
Just a few weeks later, we were awarded the contract and I was in our first group of six employees who flew down via commercial flights for a 3-week stay. Regina-Calgary-Denver-Albuquerque was the plan but various hitches turned it into a 40-hour non-stop slog via Regina-Calgary-Phoenix-Albuquerque incuding the 5-hour drive (1 AM - 6 AM) to Carlsbad in order to be there for the start of a 7 AM mine safety training course. The charter flight was looking great by comparison! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 My rental truck parked on
Walnut Canyon Drive by Bwana_Brown
This view was taken in Carlsbad National Park, since I took this Dodge Dakota AWD for the 27-mile drive from the city of Carlsbad to the National Park via Highway 62/180, with the last seven miles being on a scenic road inside the NP. The truck worked great and air conditioning was essential in the desert heat. The vehicle I rented from National in Albuquerque cost US$1550 (including extra insurance) for three weeks and gasoline was running at just under US$4 per American gallon (the least expensive grade) at this stage of the up and down oil prices.

Carlsbad is best reached via road from Alburqurqe. The later is reached by air from most major hubs in the USA.
Taxis are available. Rental car is also a possibility as well. Theme: Car/Motor Home
