COMMENTS FROM VISITING PILOTS
| "My wife & I fly down from Washington at least once a year. We try to time
it for when all the whales are out there" ( The California Grey Whales migrate
close to shore at Shelter Cove. The main migration past here going south is in December
& January. Going Back North in March & April) "When It Gets unbearably hot in the valley my two buddies & I throw our golf clubs in the plane and come over here and spend all day in the cool ocean breezes." "My buddy and I call friends here and when the salmon fishing gets really going we fly up and take back two big ice chests full of Salmon, Red & Black Snappers, & Ling Cod." "See all the "Vee Tails" sitting out there? We belong to a Bonanza Club and we fly over here a couple of times a year for lunch or dinner." "My Wife & I Brought or hiking Gear. We are going to spend tonight in the campground and start early in the morning along the mountain trail to the south that overlooks the ocean all the way to Fort Bragg. Once there, my brother will bring us back. Last year we did the Kings Range trail to the north.
