More from the Air Museum

Hi there all,

Well, the Evergreen Air and Space museum continues to be the highlight of the trip, and we are just getting started. Today, we went to the Air side of the Evergreen Air and Space museum, and were floored by it. We walked in just before 'Chuck' was to start a tour. So, we joined in, and for an hour and half, checked out all sorts of aircraft, from the 'Wright flyer' up through Jet Aircraft. We were in awe of the whole experience, which was capped off by the Howard Hughes 'Spruce Goose'. That plane has a 320 foot wingspan and is just an amazing work of engineering.

After we saw the 'Spruce Goose', we went and did a little bit of geocaching. We spent more time at the museum than we had planned, so we only got four caches in, but as always, Geocaching took us to places we never would have expected. After getting our excercise Geocaching, we went for dinner at 'Outback Steakhouse' since Carol and I both had a hankering for some 'Red Meat'!

After dinner, as we drove back to the campground, we snapped a shot of the Spruce Goose at night. We are having a wonderful time. The only problem so far is we seemed to have developed a leak in a tire on the 'Hulk'. So, I'm off to the tire shop first thing in the morning to get that addressed. Take care, Happy camping! - Eric -
