KAPV, Apple Valley Airport, Ca
We took the Skylane to Apple Valley. This was one of those rare days when it was actually 10 degrees cooler in the high desert than the San Fernando Valley. They now have a "SuperAWOS" on the unicom channel, so you can click 3 times to get the weather. (didn't find out about this till we landed) I was a little worried about the hills on both East and West sides of the airport (3,900' MSL) , as I haven't been here before, but it turns out they were no problem, and no confining at all (during the daytime of course). Runway 18 was in use, and I joined the downwind from the south as I wanted to avoid the hills. We ate at Skidmarks Cafe, yes.. Skidmarks! The burger was very good, it's a small diner, and they close at 2pm, on Mondays they are not open at all. We headed out for quick landing at the neighboring Victorville airport on the way home.
