Daily Report
by Lt. L. P. Arnold, "Chicago", Mechanic
We were up early this morning preparing for the hop to Eugene, Oregon. We left at 9:00 a.m. on an exceptional fine day - considering it's supposed to be the rainy season. The mountains of Northern California are beautiful this time of year - we saw 6 snow covered peaks at one time. We flew the same basic route we flew at the beginning of the flight over Shasta. We landed at Eugene and had a banquet as usual followed by a speech given by the Governor.

Daily Report
by Lt. L. H. Smith, Commanding
The flight remained one day in San Francisco in order to allow time for the motor change in the "Boston II." At 8:53 this morning, the flight took off for Eugene, flying practically the same route as that used at the start of the World Flight, landing on the same field at 2:13 p.m. A large reception had been planned, people journeying from all over the state to be present at the Flight's arrival, among those present being the Governor of Oregon.
