At age 16, I took off with my 15 year old brother, riding an old Harley from the Monterey Bay area of central CA to Spokane, WA. We had no tent....just sleeping bags we threw on the ground wherever night found us. Just so happened we found a place to the right of the highway (headed east) right across from the construction of a new dam....the Dalles Dam. Construction was in full swing with loud equipment and pile drivers making a horrendous cresendo.....we didn't realize just how loud it was until after we had settled in for the night.....not much sleep that night.

Wow! You have some nice, color footage of the U.S. Navy's Blue Angles flight demonstration team when they were flying the Grumman F9F Panther (the Panther was the "Blues" first jet aircraft). Thanks for sharing!

This is cool. The last one isn’t a view from a plane though. He hiked to the top of the hill.

Thanks for the correction! It was so high up I wasn't sure.

I see that "road work ahead" is not a recent phenomenon in Oregon!
