This trip was a clear day in January, but the fog was fierce. It had been clear for several days after a long period
of heavy rain which resulted in the air near the ground being very humid. The temp/dew pt spread was 02/00 C when we
took off and dropped to 00/00 right after sundown. You could see the fog start to form in the air right after sundown
where we were standing on the Nehalem "ramp". We gave Yankee the spurs and beat feet back to Twin Oaks landing
in about 5-6 mile visibility due to ground fog.

Despite the mist and fog the color and depth of the breakers jumped out at me when I looked down as I did a 270 to enter
the downwind. The pic does not do this scene justice.

The runway is behind me to the right and this picture
looks toward the north. The camp sites are too my left
just tucked into the woods.

This was the view when we came over the coast range from the ocean. It had me worried that Twin Oaks was under
the fog. It was, but it looked worse than it was from this distance and once we got there the visibility was good enough.
This is a great flight to a great little runway. The best is sunny days like this. These are pics from two
different flights. One trip I took a foldup bicycle and rode around the penninsula.

If you hurt yourself, I have never seen you before and somebody else posted this stuff here.
No, I don't know who it was
