Flying Over the Coastal Range of Northern California

For those of you who have the Google Earth plug-in, this is what you would see if you were on the left base leg of the traffic pattern approach to the Garberville Airport in Northern California. This was one of the most memorable trips I took in the Piper Warrior I flew while I was a member of the Travis Aero Club while I served in the US Air Force out of Travis AFB, CA. Use this map to explore the Coastal Range of Northern California. Beautiful country!

I was showing some pics of my boys on Facebook and my second cousin posted this in response. (my boys do NOT talk like this)

It's all a matter of perspective

Not that one.

My son Connor just got back from a group trip with the People to People Student Ambassador program. He was able to direct me on Google Streetview to the exact spot his group took a break in the ancient city ruins of Pompeii, Italy.

This glimpse of wisdom was a result of Bill and his close friends going out laying in a field for four hours while under the influence of mushrooms. Here's what he had to say about it:

"I think it's interesting the two drugs that are legal - alcohol and cigarettes, two drugs that do absolutely nothing for you at all - are legal, and the drugs that might open your mind up to realise how you're being fucked every day of your life? Those drugs are against the law. Coincidence? See, I'm glad mushrooms are against the law, cos I took 'em one time, you know what happened to me? I laid in a field of green grass for four hours, going, 'My God, I love everything.' Yeah, now if that isn't a hazard to our countries...How are we gonna justify arms dealing if we know we're all one?"    --Bill Hicks
