Pascal Duchemin KCCR KMPI KCCR Flight following - Sight seeing East of KMPI ----------------- A friend and I took off to the east for a flight to the Sierras. Right after leaving KCCR tower, I reached out to Travis approach who basically told me they could not get me VFR flight following and to call Norcal on a specific frequency.. For some reason the radio quality was quite bad, they could hear me but I could not hear them. A Southwest airline flight which was above us was able to relay the Sqwak information and better frequency. The flight through the valley was pretty uneventful. After almost an hour flight, we reached out the Sierras. I decided to fly over the Mariposa airport and get closer to Yosemite. The mountains/hills were getting taller and taller, so could not get too much east of the airport. I did a 180 back to the airport and made sure that a couple delta planes on the opposite side of the pattern were not in my way. The landing was pretty enjoyable from a scenery perspective. There wasn't much going on at the airport, we headed out back west. I chose 2500 feet at first, but it was quite bumpy. After a climb to 4500 feet, things were much more stable/calm.
