Knocking off some #NorCal airports on my latest #XPlane #flightsim mission to fly to every airport I flew my RL Cherokee 235 to.

Started Cali in Crescent City, hit Redding, Red Bluff and Chico before finishing today in Grass Valley. Pine Mountain Lake, Auburn and Columbia next up. #GoldCountry

Lots of decent hardware parked near me on the KGOO ramp. A Piaggio P.180, three Baron 55s, and a nice King Air C90.

Over Labor Day weekend, Nevada County saw 23 alcohol-related arrests and 15 DUI arrests. The message is clear: drinking and driving is still a big problem.

But it doesn’t have to be. Call a cab, use Uber or Lyft, or line up a designated driver. Safer choices = safer community.
