Wyoming and Idaho

We are back from a quick vacation. I managed to score three (actually several more) bucket list items in 4 days. 1.) Long Snowmobile Trip. 2.) Yellowstone Park and 3.) Wyoming. I reached my 50th State --Wyoming! And we took a 90 mile snowmobile trip in Yellowstone National Park. We went to the "Craters of the Moon--National Monument and Preserve" in Idaho and also stopped at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) where I got to see (with my own eyes) the very cool nuclear powered twin turbojet engine. It was a successful experiment in the 1950s and 1960s. https://whatisnuclear.com/safety-minutes/htre-3-meltdown.html Of course, I had my Radiacode scintillation detector with me and yes, the apparatus is "Hot". The screenshot of the readings from my three walk-arounds the artifact. I swear you could smell the radiation. There was a very un-natural burnt smell something reminiscent of burned bakelite. Although, I am quite certain the emitted radition was not the source...

Movie Set Neighborhood

-

Time is moving swiftly again. We are planning the next trip up North and a million other things.

There are lots and lots of movies filmed in Georgia these days. Look at what's on the abridged list in Gwinnett county. https://www.gwinnettfilm.com/filmed-in-gwinnett

We had part of a movie filmed right here in my neighborhood awhile back (2 years ago). The movie debuted on Netflix yesterday (Senior Year). Probabaly not going to be an iconic cult following classic, but it was a major production. I was amazed of the amount of equipment they brought in. The climax scene (the lake house) was shot at my neighbor's. Its fun to see what the final production makes of the scenes, people, footage, etc. It is always a surprise. Here are a couple of pics we took today of stuff that is in the movie. Even the bent guard rail (knocked out by a tree) and the tree stump are still the same.
