Short flight over Eureka

Jackie's brother John flew up for a short visit the other day. There is a small airport just outside of Eureka. The big problem in flying here is the fog. John does not fly instrument, so it has to be clear for him to land. The day he flew in the fog moved in. He has a gps system on his plane and knew where he was but had to circle the airport to find an opening where he could drop through the fog. After a successful landing we spent some time the next couple days sightseeing. John and I tried to fly but were only able to be up for a few minutes before the fog moved back in. But I got a couple pictures of a huge lumber mill next to the airport. That is all redwood stacked in the yard. The locals say most is ready to be shipped over seas. We have been staying at the Moose Lodge in Eureka. They have 5 acres on the edge of town and there are several deer that pass through the grounds almost everyday. They have passed by the rear of our trailer where we have a large window that Pepper can see out. She raises holly hell when they walk by. A buck and doe passed by within 10 foot of the trailer and she did not like that.
