I'm thinking of flying myself there from the east coast the beginning of
October.

I'd appreciate any thoughts as to what sort of weather or other problems I
might expect getting into (and out of) that area.

Thanks.

One fond memory is crossing the Siskyous from California at 10,500,
which gives you about 2- 3,000 feet clearance, calling the tower, and
getting a straight-in. KMFR is at 1335 feet. That was a bunch of
altitude to burn off in 20-30 miles. Ashland is closer to the
mountains.

Don't miss flying over Crater Lake. Don't miss driving around it if
you get a chance.

There used to be a Yreka Bakery in Yreka, CA. That'd be worth a visit
if your friends are into palindromes.

The weather will probably be gorgeous if there are no forest fires.
That's absolutely the best time of year, weather-wise in the Pacific
Northwest.
