GPS included there? Planned cruising altitude? Are you planning on flying the Ashland trip at night at 12,500 ft or below since I assume there is no supplimental oxygen? Please be careful, you might want to ask the weight of the people that email you. Can I ask if you have flown this area before? What altitude are the obstructions enroute to Ashland at? Ive got a GPS I can loan you for that leg. Terrain would be my only concern. For all who dont know that plan a Cherokee 6 is a heck of a strong plane, usually used for light cargo by many companies (newspaper bundles, bank notes etc).
