Revised Flight Plans

Leg 1 - KGBR - KART Time: 1.30 Fuel 15 gallons (Fuel at KART $4.75/gal.)
Leg 2 - KART - KERY Time: 3.53 Fuel 39 gallons (Fuel at KERY $4.25/gal.)

KERY (Luce County Airport) looks like a pretty cool place - supposedly the Moose Capital of Michigan.

Depending on our departure time on Day 1 we could squeeze in another leg on the first day.
Leg 3 - KERY - KCOQ Time: 2.46 Fuel 28 gallons (Fuel at KCOQ $3.75/gal.) Probably the cheapest fuel we'll buy on the entire trip.

Leg 4 - KCOQ - KGAF Time: 2.14 Fuel 22 gallons (Fuel at KGAF $3.85/gal.)

Let 5 - KGAF - KPWD Time: 2.22 Fuel 23 gallons (Fuel at PWD $4.30/gal.)
Plentywood has a great "wild west" history. Among other things, Sitting Bull surrendered here and Butch Cassidy was a local resident. This will also be our last stop in the USA.

Leg 6 - KPWD - CKK3 Time: 0.36 Fuel 5 gallons (No Fuel at CKK3). Our shortest leg. This is an international border crossing airport - a grass strip located right on the border with both US and Canadian Customs. Seems like an easy and fun way to transition.

Leg 7 - CKK3 - CYXD Time: 3.24 Fuel 34 gallons (Fuel at CYXD $1.63/liter - guess that's about $6/gallon) OPTION - Instead of CYXD (Edmonton City Center airport) we could go to the more GA friendly CEX3 (Wetaskiwin)
