Shelter Cove

Here are some pictures of our trip to Shelter Cove: I took mostly ones from the ground and Patti has the pictures from the air. This is sort of what a trip would be like if you go on any overnight flying adventure with Patti, or if you are planning/thinking of going to the Columbia/Georgetown trip coming up. Its fun!!!!

1. Patti with [still to be named] plane after

arriving.

2. The pocket of sunshine quickly closing up. Shelter Cove doesn't have IFR approaches or departures, so it is very hard to get to, and you may get stuck there, but it is completely worth it. Also notice the trees and houses that line the runway - the town is very small the the runway is the center.

3. Scrunched up star fish sitting on the black beach. The whole beach was covered in the cool

looking black pebbles, many with different white lines and designs, and most of them very smooth.

4. The waves were huge. They sounded like thunder when the splashed up against th

e rocks. I never got pictures of the biggest waves because everytime I put up my camera we got a "

small one".

5. Another big boom wave picture. You can also see the curve of the wave.

6. Deer were everyone. Always be ready to go on a go around, because you never know when a herd of deer will wander around looking for grass in the cracks of the runway.

7. This is just a picture of the runway after the sky was completely covered in clouds. It has a little bit of a slope.

8. When you go on overnight xc trips you generally get to camp out within viewing distance of the runway and your plane.

9. Sea lion! They were cute and making a racket.

10. The sea lions were tanning.

11. Patti making her way down the steep stairs to the short light house.

12. On the way back we got to pass through class Bravo and San Francisco! There's the Golden Gate!

13. The city!

14. SFO. Look how big the planes are!
