We're at Stopover #12! Well, at least some of us are. The cranes and
planes are on the ground here. The pilots have walked the birds off
out of sight and sound so Bev, with the help of Walt and Brian, can
set up the pen. The rest of the ground crew have packed up the pen at
the Union County site and are breaking down camp there. They'll soon
be on the road to join us. We'll have a bit of vehicle jockeying to do
yet today as Tom Miller our top cover spotter who flies with pilot
Jack Wrighter, left camp yesterday to get home for some scheduled knee
surgery.
Joining us as spotter and driver is our old friend from Tallahassee,
Florida, Gerald Murphy. No doubt we can expect Gerald to produce some
of his famous biscuits.
More later in Brooke's lead pilot report of course, but until then we
can tell you he left with 14 on the wing and from the ground it
appeared he arrived with all 14. We're all elated - - - super day!!!

I searched yesterday morning north of Dekoven, KY, the anticipated
flyover location.
Drove all over including all the way to Uniontown Dam area.
Never could locate the "secret" location of the Whoopers.
