Now, we commemorate a tragedy that took the lives of many of our fighting men.

The Sinking of Submarine S-51--Vernon Dalhart (1926)

Here's another sad ballad. I have been to the site in southeastern Ohio where the US Navy airship USS Shenandoah crashed on September 3, 1925.

The Wreck of the Shenandoah--Vernon Dalhart (1925)

Years ago I was hiking to work on my water line when a helicopter descended about 100 yds away. A security group had just roped down to a small turnout on the highway. They were from the Klamath National Forest, my other neighbor. I approached and did a slow turn. (had a Beretta in my back pocket) I asked what was up; they just finished hauling several cargo nets, each about the size of a VW bug of pot from the upper reaches of the creek that I draught water from. A friendly German Shepard with a harness joined them. I suggested they could use the 3 or so acre meadow and land the helo. ‘Then we’d have to hike back up to the highway to catch our ride.’ It was about 50 yds. (They were armed to the teeth)
‘I’d like to head up the creek to clean the inlet at the diversion. Does that make sense to you guys?’
‘You might want to do that tomorrow sometime. The rest of the crew up there really isn’t expecting company.’
‘Understood’

Whoa! That was some serious stuff right there! Wonder if they found out whop was putting it there.
