Something about that spot and thunderstorms. I landed my Mooney there one hot, sunny July morning, and had to wait for the afternoon thunderstorm to pass through before I could leave. We followed the storm south nearly to Wilmington, and were back at our beach rental for supper.
There are certain places where the weather just never gives me a break. Cross City, FL, for example. I used to plan it as one of the fuel stops on the way to Sun N' Fun yearly (I was flying legs no longer than an hour in an airplane with almost no fuel capacity) and I still have yet to land there. There was always a big CB standing right atop the field.
One day, I'm gonna land at Cross City just to check the box, 20 something years later.
A great story, Jeremy. War Eagle!

Good times!
