Hazy in the beginning..........Pacific Coast Highway below the plane.

Weather clouding up a bit.....

....before eventually clearing up and taking the haze with it just before landing at Shelter Cove (0Q5).

I find the route up the Northern Cal and Oregon coast to be quite wild and overgrown, with few towns and air strips en-route compared to the South Cal coastal route.
...and the Washington Coast is equally wild in places.....don't lose Route 1/101!!

Nice shots, Chuck!

Following the trip closely!

Hey, now Paul, It's not all that wild and overgrown...Heck, till ya hit Eureka or Yreka, it's hardly overgrown at all! The few actual Redwoods left are pretty rare too! And the bears and cougars are pretty few and far between too! Now, once ya hit that point it get's much nicer... :lol: :lol: :clap: :whistle:

Great sets! thanks for posting :D Makes me severely homesick. Make sure ya toss a message to your right as you pass over the Woodside VORTAC, say HI to my folks, and former girl...
