Dave, I've never flown there but would love to join you guys. I have no idea where to meet up since the site info doesn't give an address. 503-720-7122

Yaquina is completely blown out. Strong chance I'm headed your way, Dave.

Gusts to 45 at the coast, very windy aloft. Bring your speedbar and or hang glider and be prepared to fly wind without much lift if you get up. It could be ok (probably earlier) but often with wind aloft forecast it s not much fun unless the wind stays way up above. I might be more tempted to try Peterson Butte. Anything would be better then another weekend working in a mall. Hopefully someone can get some flying and maybe some photos of nice fall colors.

Peterson looks great for today, but it's closed.

Chehalem looks really good, but I won't make it after all.

Woke up to rain at CLO and Oceanside. Headed to Chehalem.

I'm headed there too - leaving in an hour from Corvallis if anyone wants a ride.

What a beautiful day. Quite a few pilots out and some found the lift for awhile. I enjoyed watching and absorbing the site knowledge.
I decided not to fly after seeing some close encounters with trees..I'll get more mileage in before trying this site.
Got a handful of pics though:

I guess I never use Google photos and thus need to learn to share a link properly. Perhaps this will work better:

Thanks for the photos. Chehalem can be straight forward and tricky at other times. It is a shallow ridge and often no wind below so the wind hitting the ridge has little vertical component.
