Our campsite on arrival.

Shawn setting up for a mock evidence search for the SAR Techniques class he taught.

Rescue trucks looking pretty out in the parking lot. We stopped by looking for some King County banners ... no dice.

No banners here...

Rest stop outside of Yakima ... Eastern Washington is different.

Big American flag near the Diary Queen.

Unloading the car.

Do you see the Sign? Our tracking-awareness class instructors went out and walked in this field every day for four days and left tracks for us to take a look at. If you look carefully you can see the sign. When you find a track and look at it from the right angle the whole track lights up and is clearly visible, even when it is a few days old.

Another set of Sign in the ground - this time in the shade so the tracks are supposedly different.

Guide line for Shawn's evidence search area.

The future of Search and Rescue? This was a (working!) car they had at the fair grounds.

The OktoKopter .... a home grown project to give SAR teams eyes in the sky. Unfortunately this demo flight ended in damage of the unit :(.

We're a friendly group.

Our campground.

Some cool ATVs on display.

Front seat of the Coast Guard Helo. I was particularly impressed with the displays - it was a bright day and they looked crystal clear.

Wind turbines in the distance.

Weird tree stuff.
