Our family recently spent 3 1/2 days in the Rapid City, South Dakota area. There are so many things to explore within an hours drive from the city. Most people (including us) have heard of Mount Rushmore and it is certainly worth a visit. But when we started doing research prior to our trip, we […]

May 20-22, 2016 After a 1 year hiatus, the International Cessna 195 Club’s Caravan returned for its 2016 edition with the destination being Asheville, North Carolina. The choice of Asheville was a bit selfish as it had been on our “Fly To” list for a few years. The big draw for us was to see […]

September 17 – 21, 2014 It’s hard to believe that this was only the 6th International Cessna 195 Club annual fly-in that we have attended, because it really does feel like a family reunion.
