We touched down in Munroe, refueled, and then began the last leg of the day to Gulfport, however the weather decided to change again. Forced to descend in order to maintain visual flight rules, we were unable to complete the entire leg of the trip. We ended up diverting to a small strip called Hattiesburg. Although the airport was literally abandoned at first, we managed to contact the owner of the local flight school and we made arrangements for hangars and vehicles.
Once everything was in order we set off on the final trip of the day, a short drive from Hattiesburg to Gulfport. In Gulfport we located a Best Western and made ourselves comfortable. The weather was warm, and the air was moist with the smell of the ocean. Tomorrow we can look forward to seeing the ocean for the first time on the trip!! All in all, it was an excellent day. The weather was rather cooperative, and we avoided being grounded in Texas for any considerable amount of time. It was another day of fun and safe travels!

Believe it or not its snowing! I've prayed and hoped for snow all season that's for leaving it behind. That's Texas for you 24 hours ago we were in t shirts and sweatin!
Its great to follow your adventures. Its great to see the diversity that you are experiencing. Thank you Aaron and Kelly for the leadership you are providing. And to all the rest of the pilots keep soaking up the experience. When you get back I am sure all of you will say you learned more on this trip than through months of flying in the local area. Continue to be ambassadors for God, Canada, Providence College, and for Aviation. Happy Landings. Harv
