Sonic booms rattled the building like and earthquake. That memory is drilled in my mind forever!!! I’ve enjoyed some crazy events working that Costco being on the final approach. We were sitting on our deck and the plane came down the Narrows. I said that’s pretty weird. My wife said maybe it’s hijacked. I said that’s ridiculous. Guess we know who the brains of the operations is around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is still beautiful in its own, but very different way. It will be interesting to watch the forest come back. Already seeing alder shoots coming up. My wife made me turn around and go back to Mtn. High Grocery in Detroit so we could stimulate the local economy. Sad to see The Cedars gone too, my brother and I ate many a meal there after hiking up to Jefferson Park or Marion Lake. At least Marion Lake hasn't burned yet. The B&B fire got into the Marion Lake basin and touched part of the lake in 2003, and the Lionshead Fire stayed just north. Of course with the stupid permit system they've instituted I will only be heading up to Marion Lake in the off season now. I grew up in the area and my grandpa and I had many meals at the Cedars. I always sat in the same booth. My other grandpa painted many of the saw blades that were on the walls. When my brother in law passed unexpectedly several years ago, the family had a dinner there after the service. I am sorry that it will never be there in the future but am thankful that I got to share the experience with my daughters before last September.

Its quite possible its might be Val-halla It used to be based in Bellingham, now based down in Skagit. They are certified to do the heritage flights, probably knocking the rust off after a year of no airshows. https://heritageflight.org/aircraft/p-51-mustang/ I have a picture sitting in the cockpit, my bother-in-law did professional military aviation photography, so he used to do the airshows as well as photo shoots of red flag exercises. He got to know all the military and civilian airshow pilots, got us up close to an F-22 (could not look in the cockpit though). Edit: Just found the N number and flight track, and it was Val-Halla: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n151af#28448807 That is definitely an F-15 Eagle and a beautiful P-51 mustang with an unmistakable Allison prop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not positively aware I have, but reasonably sure I have. Rattlesnakes quite often just lay low, do nothing, and hope to avoid notice. And they are well-camouflaged, so it typically works. It may be unsettling to realize you have been within a few feet of a rattlesnake multiple times, but if you regularly hike in snake country, odds are you probably have.
