So tomorrow after the morning cloud cover burns off a co-worker is taking me flying. We are flying out of Temecula so I am looking for some suggestions as to what would be a cool area to fly over?

You guys are useless... 
I was thinking over Upper Coyote Canyon would be cool, I think many of the gilders fly in that area.

SOCALFJ's house with a bag of dung comes to mind.He's in the Corona area, so on the way depending on where you're taking off.
Bastard! I was going to say fly over our house... but nevermind now.... Brent tampered with my cool idea.

Ahh, I forgot to download the pics... 
I am busy working on a slide show for my Gramps 90th B-Day the end of this month.
Well we ended up flying out of French Valley AP in Temecula and over Lake Riverside AKA Pond Riverside. Then we flew straight down Coyote Canyon into Borrego, when we got to the west of Borrego we dropped down to about 100' off of the desert floor going 200 MPH where we flew right over a Unimog probably freaking him out.
We then did a U-turn over Ocotillo Wells recreation area and back up San Felipe wash and in for a nice landing at Borrego Airport. We ate lunch then hopped back in and flew back right over Palomar Mt. circled the Observatory and then pulled four barrel rolls and back into French Valley. Oh and I forgot to mention he let me take the controls about 10 min into the flight which was pretty freaky.... Unfortunately it was a bit hazy Saturday and really limited the views.

My co-worker piloting his hand built plane that he built over 6 years.
Fonts Point in the distance
San Felipe Wash
Safely on the ground in Borrego Springs

Yeah, that little plane MOVED! Right after taking off he asked me if I was ready to go up. I said YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! while my head was going straight down to my knees. The G forces were amazing on that move and the four barrel rolls.

Dude built and flies his own plane. Wow. 
Makes me feel sheepish for worrying about how the truck sounds while driving down the street after doing some maintenance...how about worrying about how the plane sounds while you're flying over the mountains!
Cool trip Mark!
