Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:59:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Carolyn Young http://googlesightseeing.com/2007/06/27/loop-the-loop/#comment-154699 Carolyn Young Fri, 10 Aug 2007 01:23:33 +0000 http://googlesightseeing.com/2007/06/27/loop-the-loop/#comment-154699 I laughed hysterically when I saw the reference to our farm. "Rich farmer" -- that's an oxymoron if ever there was one. We live on social security and the chestnuts are a supplement to that. We work our buns off here and it's not what we had in mind for retirement. But it's good exercise. As to the "massive house" -- it may be a little larger than average but under that roof is an apartment and a kennel so much of this is illusion. Oh, and the luxury interior -- try homemade furniture from my old shop-teacher husband. If you want to see more we have a chestnut festival here on Saturday, Oct. 13, 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. You're all invited. If you've never tasted roasted chestnuts you shouldn't pass it up.

I live nearby in Battle Ground, WA, and just the other morning we were standing outside watching a plane practice stalls, do loops and barrel-rolls. We see this quite a bit in our area. I don't know if there's a flight school nearby, but we've been watching them do this for years. The looping airplane is a great find!

The crops they grow are, believe it or not, CHESTNUTS. Must be a huge fooditem in America. They have a website, http://www.chestnutsonline.com. And No, I am not affiliated in anyway with the Young's or Allen Creek Farm. I just googled the address :) @ Ben…and everyone else

I think it's also true that from waaaaay up here at our vantage point, it's a little easier to see the swing structure. Neato. Thanks, guys, good info.

You can see the gearing in Glenns pic. The supporting concrete column looks much newer that the rest of the bridge suggesting it replaced an older structure - hence the remains of the 'pontoon'.. Must have been a tricky job to replace the supporting structure. The bridge is a swing bridge. You can see the gearing in Glenns pic.
