Yes, because the URL of the cover
(http://www.pacificcoasthellway.com/images/pchmini.jpg) points to a
non-existing image (it's a redirect to a HTML page), so it cannot work.
You can, however, go to the website of the feed and try to find an image
that would work as a cover. You can drag images from your browser to the
cover area in the channel settings or you can even drag images from your
local hard disk to the cover area. This way, you can even set a cover
for channels without a cover (or with a bad/broken cover).
