Trip planning KCLM (Port Angeles) to KONP (Newport)

As expected, everywhere is forecasted VFR tomorrow except Newport, Oregon.

I saw a bunch of WWII warplanes at KCLM:

I'm sitting at South Beach campground right now and it's VFR and calm. That was not the case yesterday! I'll keep an eye out for you coming in and maybe come sai "hi"! Quite an adventure you've been on!

Awesome!!! I landed RWY (34)! Forecast was wrong.

ADS-B helped. I was flying to Corvallis, then got VFR METAR on KONP. Changed to plan "B" and safe home.

Stop over at the airport if you like? I look pretty grungy from being on the road for (3) weeks, but I am a nice guy.

Sent you a PM with my telephone number. We missed the Bar-b-que! There are free burgers every weekend at the FBO. Really delicious!

T- storms in the vicinity starting 05:45, rain, thunder, lighting...

Glad I made it yesterday from KCLM to KONP.
