A visit to the Spruce Goose

It may surprise some of you that the Spruce Goose, that crazy project Howard Hughes and Henry J. Kaiser spent an enormous number of tax dollars on, has ended up in the small town of McMinnville, Oregon. The whole story is told in the Wikipedia entry (linked above) but once it ended up there they built the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum around it.

We'd been by a number of times but had never actually gone in, so when Miz Becky suggested it a couple of weekends ago when we were down visiting her parents, I was all for it. And it was neato. More pictures to come, of course, for the next several days.
