This
was Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum day with Eric Witchey.
The Route
We drove 12 miles to the museum and arrived as Eric arrived. What great timing!
About the Day
The morning was overcast and cool. Blue sky peeked through rain
clouds all day. Showers came and went.
We left for the museum at 9:45 and returned to the trailer around 6 pm.
Evergreen Museum
This was our third trip to the museum. The facility is immaculate. There’s always something new and plenty we
didn’t see. Here's a sample of what we saw. The SR-71 Blackbird and
A-10 Warthog were additions of special interest.
