Thanks for that information Richard. I sure enjoy seeing the older power.

Great variety as always Larry.  That greed 40 leading the SPOPAS made my day.  Thank you for sharing!

Larry, 
Maybe you have already given us the information, but....

what does your "perch" look like?
Are you on a balcony drinking coffee and taking pictures?
Is it a deer stand in a tree?
A Lawn chair on a pile of ties?

do tell

As Bill said, one perch is on the side of the hill, the other is my covered patio which I use in the rain, snow and grab shots.

Larry,

Photos #19 & #20 are if the EVESPO going the "long" way from Everett to Spokane due to the monster Q-CHCSSE was combined with a S-LPCTAC that went west over Stevens Pass (ex-GN).
