Well we ended up spending two full days in New Tribes because of winds that were gusting to 50 kts (nautical miles per hour) in the mountain passes that we were planning on going through. So we spent the day being as productive as we could, we played baseball, frisbee, slept and ate. All in all a very nice, relaxing day to prepare us for our long day of travel.
Today started, well before it should have, somewhere in the 5 am's. We got out of bed packed up what we couldn't pack the night before and walked to the kitchen where Jeff and Wonita had breakfast ready and waiting for us. After that we said goodbye and headed out to the planes.
Our flights today were long and uneventful.
We flew from about 20 miles from the Mexican border all the way to Yankton SD where we now sit in and FBO with ceilings outside of roughly 10 feet as best we can figure. When we got here we called the operator and they were more than happy to allow us to stay here over night camping on the floor for which we are very grateful. The hope is that we can be up and on our way sometime mid to late afternoon tomorrow to finish up the last 300 miles of our journey. 
It's been a great time of fun and learning but there comes a time where you want nothing more than to be home in your own bed, I think for most of us that time has come.
