Cooley Corridor
July 28th, Nikolay left for Oshkosh this morning. Laurie and I took the afternoon off from flying. We drove the 60 or so miles down the Cooley Corridor. Amazing Western scenery and geological formations formed by volcanic activity mega millions of years ago and the effects of the ice age 15-20 thousand years ago. Very nice drive all of the way to the Grand Cooley Dam at the Columbia River.
Dry FallsCooley Corridor 2
Just a clarification, as a life-long Washington “Dry-Sider” the Dry Falls/Coulee area was created not by “millions of years” of volcanic activity, but rather a very short duration flood of “Lake Kalispell” which was formed by an ice dam, which collapsed sending a massive (possibly .5 or higher) wall of water cascading through this area.
Kind of like my kind of flying which takes me through sedate and gentle maneuvers over a period of time, compared to your kind of flying which condenses a life-time in just a few minutes for the rest of us pilots.
GO TEAM USA!!!!
