Very nice pictures, looks like a lot of fun was had on that trip, I am

Sheesh! You guys just don't understand WET weather!  :)

That looks like a fairly normal (at least once a summer) heavy rain with
a few straight line winds in front of the thunderstorm for Minnesota/
Wisconsin!!!

with adobe there's no bottom, once you break through the top.

    OK. All I can tell you is the only still standing in California
form three hundred years ago are the Spanish Missions made with adobe.
That must seem funny to you when you see man made things from thousands

300 years for mud isn't bad.

I'm still amazed by how our ancestors managed to build Stone Henge out of
stone ( not far off 5000 years old). They dragged some of the smaller 4 ton
blue stones from the Preseli mountains in Wales 240 miles !!! [dont ask me
why !].

Hi Brian,

    It helps to see one, as I did when I was ten years old playing
tether ball with friends and watch a silver tear drop shaped object fly
over us, split into three equal black round things and continue on
towards the horizon and out of sight. We don't have anything yet that
can do that.

  Sure we do.  Even the president has apparently admitted consumption.

  Personally I've always wondered about why some folks always think that
  extra-terrestrial intelligence always seems to consist of nothing but
  little grey traveling proctologists.

You forgot the SR-71 I got to see that plane in person several times and

  Coolest two ordinary craft I was ever lucky enough to see airborne
  were the B-70 and the first semi-public showing of the MickeyDee
  F15.   The other stuff was more impressive, lotsa "happy 4th of July"
  moments at White Sands and affiliated launch sites--and several
  rather strange ones of truly oddball technology guaranteed to cause
  saucer reports.
Matt Macchiarolo - 26 Feb 2005 03:45 GMT
I remember doing a book report and building a paper-and-cardboard model of
the B-70 in 4th grade, circa 1979...there was a book on it in the school
library. Of course by the time I got to it the B70 program was no longer
around.

Never saw an SR-71 in flight but I did see the one (amongst a lot of other
really neat stuff) at the American Air Museum at Duxford, UK a couple years
ago. The final flight crew had signed all their names on the inside of the
forward landing gear door.

  When I was at Wright Patt, there was a B70 parked outside at the Air
  Force museum, worth seeing even parked.   In flight it looked like a
  Concorde on steroids and crank.

Interesting - didnt know there was a SR-71 here. Must go and have a look.

Can you provide me reference to this ...I've heard otherwise from a number
of sources. I've heard that Eisenhower was aware of and supported the
creation of the U2 as early as 1954.

  Like pretty much everything non-Jeep, the only evidence he could
  provide would be written on a small roll of soft paper that has
  convenient perforations allowing it to be separated into sheets
  as needed.

  Now granted the CIA may not be the best source of information, but
  their declassified U2 project report notes that Eisenhower was
  aware of the flights from the beginning [1956] but was against
  them due to the risks involved.

  A similar claim was made by Harry Stine, who would be suspected
  of knowing...

A president during the Cold War publicly denying the existence of a spy

Surely not.

   Like we American knew they had out pilot, but we didn't have a high
attitude plane so it must have been another Russia propaganda stunt.

    I find it interesting that President Eisenhower, president during
the whole program, his term '52 to '60 is conspicuously absent.
   Many of the pages still blacked out for security reasons, like
Project Blue Book..
