Airplane ride report! Trip to the beach with friends

[FastDoc]

This was too nice a trip to not share with you all. No motorcycles involved but the sights were wonderful and I know oyu'll appreciate them. :D

As nice as the pics are, in no way do they do justice to the splendor of Creation.

My lady friend Linda and I flew to the Oregon coast to an airstrip on the beach. My friends Ron and Patty were camping there already with their motorhome so we flew in to enjoy their company. 8)

The weather was PERFECT, what we pilots call CAVU. Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited.

Our route took us over the Cascade Mountains. We were able to see SEVEN volcanos, ranging from The Sisters in Central Oregon to The North Cascades National Park in Washington.

Don't worry. I remember what I said about harp seals and I meant it.

You're a blessed man.

To what do you attribute the attention of these young ladies? The new hair colour? :lol: It looks good; I wish I had hair to colour.

[FastDoc]

Christina, the gal in the pics of the last Gold Wing ride, has a beauty salon and she wanted to give me a 'makeover' 8O

As far as the attention of the young ladies, I think they are attracted to my Christian heart.

I am indeed greatly blessed. I can't believe it half the time. :D

To what do you attribute the attention of these young ladies?
Weld....it's basic math!
Doctor + Airplane + Gold Wing + Corvette + Fun Loving + Available = A Different Attractive Female Every Weekend! :lol: 8)

Maybe a choice of a different pretty girl every weekend but I prefer to pick the same pretty girl, or at least one of two or three. 8)
