Beautiful clear crisp day today, so flew from Front Royal, VA up to Cumberland, MD, with hopes of finding fall colors. Cumberland is right where the higher (for Maryland) mountains start.

On the way back, the fuel cap started to dance. Then it started to rock and roll, back and forth, back and forth. It finally came loose, and jiggled around like in the picture for the remaining 30 miles back to FRR. If it had come loose while the tank was still full, would fuel have siphoned out? The gasket is pretty worn, and sometimes it tightens really tight and sometimes not.
