Condolences, my brother..... |
I'll second Baz's condolences, also reminds me I need to get out with my Sisters more often...
It's been 3 years since my big Brother passed, just getting to a point where I remember more of the good times together and not the difficult several months just prior. Truly sorry for your loss Byron, hope you can get to a more peaceful point soon. Back from Tofino out on Vancouver Island. One of the most challenging trips we've ever done- between road closures to stabilize the mountain side and a broken ferry boat we sat in "queue" for hours and hours. What is a 3 hour journey if the road is clear took about 12. Thankfully they had portapotties and it was next to Lake Cameron so the views were good. Tofino beaches are unbelievable, we visited 10 in 4 days, walked 35 miles total and although taken aback by the crowds of people we found that 1/4 mile away from access points gave us vast areas where there were very few others. Just the way we like it. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.jpg Mountain Lions, Wolves and Black bears are thriving up there. None spotted during our time, a park Ranger said there had been two Bear sightings the same day we were on Wickaninnish beach.. Years past I've seen crazy amounts of bear scat at the southernmost part. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693241096.JPG |

If you drive 401 West along the mighty Columbia to 1.7 miles prior to the Astoria bridge that crosses into Oregon you will plainly see the USS Plainview, or what's left of her.
220- long, 40' beam hydrofoil that was a test bed for the Navy from March 1969 to September 1978. Two big Diesels and 2 × 14,000 hp (10,440 kW) General Electric LM1500 free-turbine turboshaft engines. 40 Knots on her foils. Lockheed, Boeing, GE all designed and built bits of it. Wiki sez: She "carried out long range experimental programs to evaluate the design principles of hydrofoils and to develop and evaluate tactics and doctrine for hydrofoils, particularly in anti-submarine warfare, and helped to determine the feasibility of hydrofoil operations in high seas." She's looking sad and forlorn sittin in the mud of the Columbia, sold off for scrap years ago- Department of ecology is getting tired of it... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693613391.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693613391.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693613391.JPG <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SAnY_c66GAg?si=-SQ_FEzUvpWu1Vtf" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
We did a Grand Canyon, Bryce, Bonneville and the Great Salt Lake extravaganza back in 2007.
I'm overdue for another Canyon trip, Bonneville was surreal and amazing. Only saw/heard a few runs before cross winds shut speed runs down for the day. Stopped at a public restroom just prior to the race bed and next thing I know Boyd Coddington also stopped to take care of some business. My son was 14 and really really into custom cars and all things fast... Good times! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693854155.jpg |
Saw this the other day. Locally, the "sloughs" are where the water skiing is.

Not taken by me, but rather my sister. Three F-16’s out of Ohio needed juice so a KC-135 Ariel out of Selfridge ANG went up to refuel…

Those are freaking awesome!!!!! My 2004(era) Harbor Freight grinder gave up the ghost and “kinda” grenaded. At least it was while it was under load and a few pieces departed. Luckily no animals or children were harmed in the incident.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0458a2485d.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...821593ea1b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...db07da1938.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
