VFR Challenge:  A fuel’s errand—what would you on a cross-country trip when you discover no fuel is available at your only planned stop

In this PilotWorkshops VFR Mastery scenario, you’re making a 650nm VFR cross-country from Red Wing, Minnesota (KRGK) to Sheridan, Wyoming (KSHR) for a ski trip. About half way there, at your only planned fuel stop in, you discover the self-serve pump is inoperative. Now, with no other airports within comfortable fuel range, you’ll have to find a way out of this mess. None of your options are very good, and each one adds potential risks or long delays. Let’s jump in and see what you would decide.
