I think the cabin accomodations would be spacious enough. I could tote along plenty of bear treats...oops, bears eat pilots...
Let's find Clyde. I'll track down Gerry Nolan. I witnessed him taking Clyde off for Temple. Hmmmmmmm

Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 | Bill, one thing I'd really like is for you to take me on a little ride out to the Pacific coast. I see that it's really close to you. I'd like to see the PNW coast line. You wanna see the Oregon coast? Not much to see, Gary. Just miles and miles of some of the most gorgeous rocky coast line that you will ever set your eyes upon. Some nice long beaches. Seals, sea lions and if we're lucky, whales. Skimming just off the beach, and waves, at 100 feet or so is no fun either. And the coast is soooooooooooo far away! At least a 30 minute hop over the mountains! Naw! Gary! I don't think you would like it! Right Jeff? Dan? Bill? Is there anything to like?

Shoot....Wayne Westerman came up to see us a couple of years back and did not even mention wanting to see the coast. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 9,814 Likes: 127 Member/7500+posts | | Member/7500+posts Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 9,814 Likes: 127 | All right. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it, anyway. Thanks for your honesty. You spared me the let down. I thought all those things you mentioned would be really cool to look at. Oh well...  The hell you say!!!!!!!!!!! I'm seeing the coast if I have to WALK there. There's no way to see those things better than going with someone who really knows how to get around the area. I'm sooooo looking forward to it. BTW, I'm working on a nanny cam attachment to the vertical for movie documentation of the trip. AND, I found Clyde. He just might get to make the trip with me. We'll see. Airnav says a stop in Pagosa Springs is in order, as is a tour of monument valley...Imagine the video... I'm ready to go in the morning. How many days do I have to wait to get the plane? I'm excited. I know Bill is...

What a trip, and what a wonderful reward at the end for both. I hope someone joins you with a camera to chronicle the handover of the keys (assuming that occurs). Then keep the camera on the tail and make sure Bill takes you for a tour of the coast....AT 100 FEET. I think it is about time for Whale season, so you might get the treat of flying through the spray from a breaching Gray. But it is still a bit early, so don't count on that. Bill, run him up to Gold Beach, then on to Florence if you have time. Man if I had a plane I would fly over and join you. Enjoy you two!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 431 Member/250+posts | | Member/250+posts Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 431 | A couple years back, I rented a car and drove from Lincoln City down to Bandon, Oregon.
