Oregon pilots??

That is certainly a possibility - but I think this is turning into a "West coast" or "California" PoA get-together thread without a thread name change. Perhaps you or Kimerbly can start another thread so more West coasters are likely to read it?

Sunriver or Independence Oregon are somewhat more central locations for the tiny handful of Oregon pilots who are likely to be interested in getting together but still want to minimize Hobbs time costs.

A couple of years ago, I made a trip to CA with one stop at SunRiver. That was a great place to stop!

Got it; peace out
 
Didn't mean to run everyone off. :(

I found a bunch of Shelter Cove (0Q5) aviation videos on Youtube that have piqued my interest. So I'm interested in flying down there at some point.

I'm also still interested in meeting up with anyone in Oregon.

Cool, care to post links? I am afraid I haven't been able to get a date out of the BF (he has a lot going on) but I will talk to the plane people this weekend to find out the rules (there are minimums when I take the plane overnight, I want to see if I can bring dog / dogs in crates in the back etc). Obviously the plane has to be available for an entire weekend too. Not sure how rare that is, haven't looked at booking the 172 that long.

First, I found a link with helpful live weather webcams which could come in handy in checking the marine layer situation before launching:

Just search Youtube for Shelter Cove Airport - you'll find a fair number of people have made videos of their landings. Here are a couple examples.

Right pattern to runway 12:

Left pattern to runway 30:

I would still be interested. It is 143 NM for me. I little less than an hour and a half.
