Narrative:
While taxiing for takeoff on runway 7 (back taxiing on runway 25), I failed to see a cherokee, who was on a left base for runway 25. I could not clear the runway in time to avoid his going around (no parallel taxiway was available). After he went around and was on crosswind for runway 25, I departed runway 7 as originally planned. Probable cause, my lack of vision to see him on base contributed by reduced visibility due to fog, scattered low cloud layer. Also contributing was his non-standard pattern entry (directly to the base leg).

Narrative: WHILE TAXIING FOR TKOF ON RWY 7 (BACK TAXIING ON RWY 25), I FAILED TO SEE A CHEROKEE, WHO WAS ON A L BASE FOR RWY 25. I COULD NOT CLR THE RWY IN TIME TO AVOID HIS GOING AROUND (NO PARALLEL TXWY WAS AVAILABLE). AFTER HE WENT AROUND AND WAS ON XWIND FOR RWY 25, I DEPARTED RWY 7 AS ORIGINALLY PLANNED. PROBABLE CAUSE, MY LACK OF VISION TO SEE HIM ON BASE CONTRIBUTED BY REDUCED VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG, SCATTERED LOW CLOUD LAYER. ALSO CONTRIBUTING WAS HIS NON-STANDARD PATTERN ENTRY (DIRECTLY TO THE BASE LEG).
