Over My 37 year Career I worked at places Like Hanford Works Wa. Los Alamo's Nm. Argonne & Fermi Lab IL. IBM Poughkeepsie NY.. Its been Nothing Less than amazing to see the Technology improve and expand..Going from Dreams .....to becoming Common... Everyday... Household items..

Ditto on the technology.

I replaced all the bulbs in my stock fixtures including nav lights with leds for under $200 (actually less than $150 I think). Battery drain is almost zero at night now. 2 $9.95 solar trickle charge panels keep my batteries fully charges and ready all winter. If I can get self-cooling beer I will never need power :)

Hey Dive, want a picture of the Hanford Reserve? I'll snap a few next time I fly over it. It is just north of KRLD, where I fly to all the time. Not a restricted area

I used to drive past the Seneca Army Depot every morning...at one time the largest cache of nukes in the free world....

There were white deer behind the security fence....the official position was a genetic mutation of the hide tht was expressed in the isolated population.

There was no official memo on the antlers growing out of their backs.... :D

That would be pretty cool...I WONDER IF I will recognize any of it..?? I only saw it twice from the air, other than on Commercial Flights...
( Hughes Air West... The Flying Bananas) Back in the day.. I had a friend who was a Federal Marshal out there..and he got me a couple rides in a chopper.. Is the whole dang place open to flybys now?
I was under the impression back then.. it was Pretty much... a 100% restricted area..
Do you ever fly over Horse Heaven Hills? Do Those Horses still exist?

Are those the same White Fallow (?) Deer we see at Argonne? Argonne had been private property at one time and a Private game reserve.. THOSE White Deer had been brought in, ( or so the story goes) by the Owner of that 650 acres..
It is nothing less than amazing.. All of the secret "stuff.. and places" that all the locals know about hahaha... scattered across our country...Rattle Snake Mountain was another spot with rumors attributed to it..
