A Stinson 108-2 is not a powerhouse. Elevation 2250.

Might want calm winds to fly that approach in those hills.

Anyways, there is probably something wrong with me, because
I'd rather do that, than push buttons and yammer on the radio
at Some Big Airport™

In fact, if all you ever do is fly taildraggers off grass, you haven't
missed much in aviation. Maybe floats is all. IMHO.

If I land someplace, and the only other airplane there is a Maule, I know I'm home.

My 108-2 only had the 150hp Franklin. I felt she was a bit underpowered.

You’ll always remember your first, but I suppose their is a reason there a 2nd and 3rd, etc...
