We had a couple of fall getaways to Whistler and Portland.

Whistler has nice woodsy trails and roads for modest rides.

"Portlandia" is probably my favorite traditional sculpture.

The streets around downtown are full of scultpures, small and large.

These two C-130s frequently fly over the county. Today they practically made me duck. Here they are coming down the Blue River arm of Dillon Reservoir.

The one on the left made a straight run over the reservoir then turned up CO 6 towards Keystone and presumably the Basin and up and over the Front Range. The one on the right bore off towards Dillon, then did a wing over while turning towards Swan Mountain Road. It proceeded up over Soda Creek and probably followed the leader out of Summit.

Nice capture @Doug Briggs. Not only were these 2 buzzing around but F16's also made an appearance over Copper yesterday afternoon. Yet again I missed a great photo op. Didn't have my phone with me.

I remember skiing at Hunter mountain one day when a fighter jet buzzed the mountain. He came in over the base lodge and straight up the center of the mountain. I was coming down Hellgate as it flew over, I stopped to watch it and as it went overhead I fell over backwards looking straight up.

Reno airport is home to the Highrollers, Nevada's Air Guard. The C-130s are around frequently. They used to have F4 Phantoms as a recon unit.

This is a common occurrence in that live in the Notch. We have C130's, A-10's coming in for strafing runs and F-18's dogfighting over head. Not my video.


Closing day this year

My house is about a half hour away from McGuire Joint Air Force Base and on a rare occasion we see a C 130 fly by in the distance. The size is impressive, we get to see the helicopters a little more frequently they are also quite the site. Fortunately we are far enough away that the noise level does not affect us adversely.

When living in Lakewood, WA Joint Base Lewis-McCord was just across the interstate. Would see all kinds of interesting things in the air.
One day out on the Nisqually River a squadron of military copters came roaring up the river right on the deck. It was like living a seen from Apocalypse Now.
Playing golf in DuPont (same area but next to the sound) saw them practice a HALO parachute drop, carrying weapons and all. On the tee box and seeing parachutes blossom without ever hearing an airplane did nothing good for the drive.
Waking up to heavy machine gun fire or the occasional artillery practice; good times.
It was all the sounds of freedom.

Going up VT 100 on Sunday.
Plymouth must be losing lots of money in speed traps because there’s a long detour around.

That's beautiful. You should get a metal print of that and hang it!

So she can never leave?

But she can check out any time she likes.

Ridges above Whitewater, BC. Whitewater opens in a month. No stinking snow guns! No WROD neither! We ski on what nature gives us.
