I have to take an hour and a half road trip to get the best price on AVGAS. So I buy enough to make it worth while. But then the icing on the cake is getting to fly a lot with some fantastic folks before I have to rinse & repeat.

Awesome! Do you get any soaring birds flying in formation with you sometimes?
No sir, sure haven't. The birds I see have usually already begun to scatter long before I get close.
Maybe soon you get to fly with some cool looking birds.
My only experience with soaring birds was when we were "attacked" by a bird of prey. I suppose he didn't like the looks of the ugly Schweizer 2-33 we were flying. Other times you follow them to find thermals. They let you follow them and then leave. It's kind of amazing because it seems to me as some kind of air camaraderie by their part, or at least I like to think they do.
There's no better indicator than an expert aviator with feathers. ~8^)
