Dinner in Chehalis

Willamette River at Sunset

One of our recent club fly-outs was to Chehalis, WA. (KCLS), to grab some dinner and get the opportunity to log some night cross country time. We departed before sunset and enroute watched the sun set and eventually see the skies darken as we crossed into Washington. The Willamette Valley had experienced some snow a day or two prior to the flight, so there were some photo opportunities for snow covered arial shots.

We arrived at KCLS in the dark and after parking, made the short walk to the Riverside Golf Club adjacent to the airport. After a nice meal, we loaded up and flew home on a cold clear night which seemed to offer unusually exceptional visibility as we were able to see the lights of Salem from what seemed like 75 miles away.
