We left here F riday evening at 5 p.m. and arrived in Eugene ju s t a few m inutes past 6, flying over Agnes on the way down. This would have been a six hour drive. • * * Coming home w asn’t quite so easy. We left Eugene a t about 7 a.m. but flew down the Coast m ost of the way, alm ost a t w a te r level. T hat coast line is tru ly beautiful from th e air, especially a t th a t altitude. We circled over Brookings m ore than an hour, un able to land because of the heavy fog a t C rissey S ta te Line field. Brooking w as clear, but the fog w as so heavy at the field we couldn't see ground.
