Riverside, CA

I had a couple days off work, so I went down to Southern California to visit my cousin Townsend at college.  I got out on the first flight from Spokane, to Portland.  On the way I got some gorgeous photos of Mt. Hood in the morning sunlight.

                                           (Mt. Hood, with Mt. Jefferson in the distance)
  I decided I'd rather spend a few extra hours waiting in Portland to get a seat on a flight that was wide open, than be packed into a full one.  The extra wait was worth it.  I flew into Santa Ana/Orange County airport and Townsend picked me up.

We walked around his college, and then went out to the Aviation department's location, next to the small airport.  One of the instructors gave us access to the flight line and we got to walk along looking at all the aircraft, including an old C-47 from WWII.

That evening we went to the cafeteria there... I wish I could have had food that good while I was in college.

In the morning Townsend drove me up to Ontario, and I flew back to Portland from there, on one of the Alaska flights operated by Skywest.

On the way, I was trying to get a picture of Mt. Shasta.  I'm 99% sure it was Shasta, but I couldn't get any great pictures.
