And, of course, I have no idea the status of any of the restaurants during the pandemic. How about this as a paint job? Took this last time I was at LLR (2017).

Little River is close to the village of Mendocino, which has restaurants and shops. But you need a way into town. FBOs and car rental places come and go over the years, but I believe Air-Galore is still there and rents cars. Last time I was there was probably 2 years ago. Ukiah has several...

Mine was similar. Short private airport with hill on final. I was a bit too high so decided to do a go-around. Just before I powered up, apparently I said —“we’re not going to make it”.:(:(:( No screaming. She just got real quite.
