Las Cruces by noon...

I'm flying a solo X-C to Las Cruces, NM (LRU) tomorrow morning, weather permitting. We stopped overnight in Las Cruces on our voyage down here. It's the only time I've ever been to the place and I'm excited, for nostalgia's sake, to be flying there, even if it's only for a touch-and-go. It'll be more or less a straight shot from here to Las Cruces, then from Las Cruces up to Safford, then back to good old P03 (that's the airport identifier here). It's looking to be a fairly long X-C. The P03 - LRU leg alone should take me well over an hour. The longest cross-country I've flown was exactly 4 hours, from initial engine startup to final engine shutdown. I'm curious to see if this one takes the record. I'll let you know.
