I took off from Boeing Field this afternoon in an elderly Cessna 150M, N7991U. My plan is to travel up and down the West coast. San Diego would be a stretch goal. Los Angeles would awesome as well.
Today I planned on stopping in Hillsboro and continuing to Eugene, but weather was uncooperative.
Headwinds were quite strong; I often measured just 59 knots across the ground. I had to temporarily divert to Kelso to refuel when HIO showed IFR conditions. I made it to VUO (Pearson Field, Vancouver WA, just north of Portland) to stay for the night.
