    Fascinating material Erich. That is the first I have seen of the Spruce Goose since it was moved. Thank you for sharing.

    I would normally ban you for these large pics, E. But since I'm tired and lazy tonight, I will give you a pass.

    Yes, that is THE Spruce Goose. The museum (and it's fantastic!) is in McMinville, Oregon, a beautiful town roughly halfway between the Pacific coast and Portland.

    Great pictures! I bet it was challenging to try to capture the Spruce Goose in an indoor setting!
