Ultralight Aircraft Parts

Can you fly a FAR part 103 ultralight aircraft from Texas to...let's say Wisconsin?

I am building a single seater part 103 legal ultralight. I know you can have only 5 gallons of fuel. However, if you were to plan out your trip and you could plot a course where you could go up and down for fuel and to camp for the night somewhere, could you do it? Dont respond back and say, blah blah blah weather considerations blah blah blah stupid. I know about the conditions for flight and that this would be difficult, and rare that the conditions would fall into place perfect for an 1,100 mile trip. Thanks peoples.
What about the legalities of the situation. Basically just stay away from populated areas?

Yes, it does take some effort to make it on 5 galllons at a time but can be done. Here is Walt's trip - his 4th coast to coast in a quicksilver.

Every adventure will have nay-sayers - they are the ones who, if left alone, would still be scared to come out of the trees.
Go fo it. Walts first trip had his daughter drive as support.

Read the part 103 regulations - no flying in class A,B, C (need transponder), D (need radio) - over populated areas.

As stated carring a few extra gallons of fuel will be un-noticed. Watch your W&B with extra stuff aboard.

Which FAR's describe Emergency Landing guidelines?

I fly paragliders and can foresee having to land out somewhere and getting hassled by authorities. We fly under Part 103 Far's for ultralight aircraft. I seem to recall that as PIC I can make an emergency landing anywhere I deem it necessary. I've searched FAR and can't find it. Can someone point me in the right directions? Thanks,
-Dave
I don't need the procedure (AIM). I need the FAR reference so I can show it to the inevitable cop who tries to write me up for landing somewhere.

14CFR 91.3 (b) RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY OF THE PILOT IN COMMAND

In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency

Edit: Adding information for clarity.

this DOES NOT give you a free reign to to whatever you want to do. If you do something dumb and get yourself into a sticky spot, you still get busted. If you fly your ultralight into controlled airspace and land at an airport, you will have voluntarily broken FARs before the emergency happened. For that you will be cited.

If you put yourself into a situation where an emergency landing becomes necessary when it otherwise would not have, you still get busted.
