Thank you for the suggestion, I hope to be traveling soon.

Indeed, i forget if it was around the 60s or 70s the vessal was struck from the registry. I mention somewhere in the video.

Well the enterprise along with all major retired warships get scrapped in Brownsville Texas. The ships are sold to the recycler for $1 and then there’s government contracts on the back end, Aircraft carriers will never be sold to non accredited customers because of fears they can be purchased by foreign governments and analyzed. This is not abstract, in 2004, well back up, so in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed the Soviet Navys main shipyards were in Mikolayev Ukraine and so the Ukrainian government ended up in possession of a Soviet Aircraft Carrier that was 60 percent complete, the Varyag. In 2004 the hulk was purchased by a Chinese businessman claiming either for scrap or a floating venue of some kind. It was towed back to China and after years of extensive work that ship is now an active duty carrier in the Chinese Navy, So the government will only sell big ships to the Brownsville shipyard. The plain view was an unarmed novel expirement so that’s why it ended up in private hands

A quick search mentions that the park was named after Stephen Penrose, who was the president of Whiteman College in Walla Walla. Lived 1884 to 1934

@JohnsNorthwestAdventures I live within a mile of Penrose estate, Cornwall, so that chap's ancestors were Cornish aristocracy 🙂 weird, There's a part of the Pacific North West that a bit Cornish

I was thinking it would be cool to jump into the water when summer comes back.

She is currently docked at aTyee Marina. You can find the owner through the ATA 202 Comanche page on facebook

Thanks!

Hi there. What years were you on the LT?

Oh wow, i wasn't even paying attention to that.

That is really cool, years of existence, and it's as if time had no impact.

That's very very common, especially if you're harvesting. If you can tell it's a keeper, you haul it to the bank. If it's not, you release it in the water without removing it. Sometimes the salmon is too dark or is decaying and it's noticed upon bringing it on the bank. From there it's pushed back out into the water. These are food fish with the intent of consuming them. They're at the end of their life cycle once they reach the creek and are not long for the world. The hatchery ensures that there are plenty of fish for every season and what the fisherman catch are what's left. It's a sustainable practice that helps provide food for those people who partake. I for one am someone who fishes this tributary and use those fish to feed my family.

Wow, I've never known the concept of that. It makes a lot of sense though.

@Johns Northwest Adventures if you look at the bridges they have a groove down the center of the ties. That was for a pipe. Im building a model railroad layout of this line so this video was valuable data

Nice, im glad my video is able to assist.

I do not, it should be right next to the trail that runs on the south end of the lake that the beavers have raised. Water is usely streaming out of it.

Thank you

Wow, you may have unveiled a pattern. Ive noticed a disdain for chum (understandably lower quality) but i always appreciate the eggs. And as for the comically crowded season each year, all that we can do is mutual respect.

Thank you, i intend to make a return trip. This visit was a little tight in scheduling. There's a LOT more i was wishing to capture.

Please.. our fish aren't dog meat. Get a grip

If they're still chrome they smoke up really nicely.

Honestly, ill need to go back for a return episode that would allow more than half a day to experience this beach.

Yeah if you want to go to jail. New state Federal survalence

​@@marieross3440 you're right

Thank you

Thank you

I have been passing this spot since elementary school, hardly any changes

Trespassing for certain if getting into the old building, to my awareness the park is virtually open within the area.

An incredible waterfall

Wow, i had no idea this has become a lone surviving relic.

It was a fun ride

The sand and rocks are quite the workout.

Thank you

Top notch scenery

Nope, i decided to capture from my phone on this shot.

Tons of parking, with a couple of bathrooms available. The bridge is fun to check out.

It was uniquely cool to be a part of.

That sounds intriguing, ill send a message in the future.

Thank you
