N291DR 2.1 Flight to the coast with Joosey

Flight with my friend Joosey to the coast. We flew to Frasier Lake, landed, and checked things out. Then we flew Monterey Bay Academy airport, and landed there. Some folks were jamming outside Craig Calfee's workshop. We then took off and flew North, checking out the coast. Then we turned back, flew to the Lexington Reservoir, then flew back to KRHV via a Class C transition, getting to fly over KSJC, much to Joosey's amusement. A humorous moment was where for some reason I had trouble finding the reservoir on my map, and Joosey was not sure if to step in and be like, "it's HERE dummy!" 3 landings, and a lot of fun!

N291DR 3.2 Flight from L17 to KRHV via KPRB

Flew with back country friends from L17 to back country sites, then peeled off while they landed. Landed at KPRB to refuel and eat lunch. On takeoff from KPRB, my pax door popped open, so I landed again, closed it, and took off. Flew 6,500' to the vicinity of Hollister, then stepped down to 2,500' to give room to all the heavies coming in and out of KSJC. Un-eventful landing. 3 landings total.

N291DR 2.2 Flight from KRHV to L52

Flew from KRHV to L52 to meet up with some back-country fliers. Route was via HNNTR, picking up flight following just South of Watsonville to help with penetrating the MOA. The MOA was hot and I was restricted above 7,000 feet, which was no problem: I just flew at 9,500.
