Today was a long day. Spent pretty much the whole day at the airfield working. It was cool to see a working helicopter up-close. I did manage to take a quick nap around 3pm. I took a lot more pictures as well. Mainly at the airfield. It’s a pretty cool one, apparently Lindbergh and Hughes were the founders. From what I can see it’s mostly used for refueling and what not since the air traffic was pretty much non-existent. I’ve seen no more than 5 airplanes land or take of from there all day.

One interesting thing is that the state penitentiary is right next door, about 3 miles away, and I got to see the real-life prisoner transport. They brought the guy in from the penitentiary, handed him off to the cop who handcuffed and shackled his legs and then took him up on a plane. I though this was very strange, since they did it in full view of all the people that were there.

One thing I learned today is that the water here is AWFUL, it tastes kind of like the watermelon skin. I immediately had to go and get some bottled water. I think people up in Seattle get spoiled with Mt. Rainer glacier water.

Here is another night shot I took at the airfield. They have a cool looking rotating light:
