A quick report on our trip---------My wife Laura, and I joined our friends Steve and Theresa, flying in their 10 to the Homecoming.
Tail winds and clear air on the trip up, here is Mt. Shasta from 10.5,
And, just a few minutes (at RV speeds) later we saw Crater Lake, short detour for some photos---
We were incredibly lucky to have as our hosts for the weekend, Dennis and Eileen Krummel, who have a 6a. And a super house.

Here is my buddy Steve's 10, Dennis's 6, and a 7a belonging to Franz Fux, who flew down from Canada----eh.
My wife found a paint job she really likes for our 10, when it is done.

The weather was not so good on the flight back, we tried to go under the clouds, but rising terrain at Cottage Grove made us turn around, and find a hole to go "on top"-------here is what Mt. Shasta looked like on the return flight-------12.5, and the cloud tops at apx 11,000.

Anyway, we made it safely home.
Many thanks to our hosts Dennis and Eileen, Vans, Independence EAA, and special thanks to Steve and Theresa----our "taxi" service, and oh yeah the long haired one--------Doug Reeves, who I finally got to meet face to face. And, saving the best for last, my wife Laura, who loves flying and planes just as much as I do. And took most of these photos.
Hope to fly our own 10 there next year-----------
Hey Doug!
