May 12, 2018 KTWM Two Harbors, MN

Origin: KMIC
Destination: KTWM
Total Logged Time: 3.5 hours
Approximately 1.5 hours in air each way

We went to Two Harbors, MN to goto our friend’s cabin. KTWM is a great municipal airport. Very nice runway/taxiways, very nice people, relatively cheaper fuel, free tiedowns. A+. One of the best parts was that you can reserve a courtesy car for $20/day and keep is overnight if desired. I can easily see us using this airport again as a launching point for a camping trip. Here are a few pictures below.
