Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Mountain Flying

I flew over TN not too far from where you are going over my way to Oshkosh from Tampa, FL in a trike. Gross weight 1000 pounds.
Just be on the correct side of the rocks and try and clear them by about 1500 feet. Watch for T-storms and visibility there

(Mine isn't technically a LSA, but at 1600 pounds it gets tossed around just about as much.) It's way too far out to get any kind of weather outlook, but in general do you think an early morning crossing would be the best. If I start at Anderson SC (KAND) it's only about an hour to get to Gatlin berg (KGKT) and I'd plan to cross at 8500 feet. Any input would be appreciated. (I'll only go if its VFR.) Thanks.
