Dave The Blade's Cuttin Edge Tour of the USA

During the flight Dave carried a digital camera and laptop computer. This is the diary of Dave's progress. Because of the weather, computer access etc. reports were irregular, but many waited eagerly and I got a lot of e-mail from people anxious about Dave's progress.

Communications are in the reverse order from the most recent. Start at the bottom to follow the journey in order.
