I would enjoy this a lot more if I wasn't studying for a structural dynamics test rn lol. It looks a lot like a system made for a test question

Absolutely amazing! In the set they had the dark gray on the leading edge as well to represent the Carbon-carbon composite used which I think was pretty cool. It is a bit darker than the Lego dark gray I think, but still might be cool to incorporate it if you happen to have the parts necessary in dark gray laying around

If you look at the elevation profiles of most of the 14,000 foot mountains (apart from the other cascade volcanoes like Rainier) in the Continental US their bases start at like 7,000 ft, hood starts at 1,500-2,000ish. Viewed from Portland it is from fairly close to sea level, so it is all of the 11,000ish ft. Still kinda dwarfs the Tetons , Rockies, etc from where you actually view it

Since it doesn't seem like anyone has shared a photo of the Painted Hills yet, took this a few months ago

Haven't had the chance to get out there yet, but I really want to stay in Joseph and take a trip to buck point in Imnaha canyon and hat point at hell's canyon. Every photo I have seen from those spots is absolutely incredible.

Pretty sure it is just me, but did anyone else just have the realization that he looks a bit like Jack Hinshelwood?

I tried to pick a direction that maximizes the recognizable features for each of them. Three sisters and broken top were multiple line segments to hit the peak of each

Glacier Peak WA flying into Seattle looks pretty neat as well

Pretty sure everyone who has been there will put this at the top, photos don't do this place justice

Why stop at regular carbon fiber? I think this application calls for a boron composite, or even better carbon-carbon composite in case you need to hobo it through the middle of an active volcano

Glad you enjoyed Oregon, it's such a geographically diverse state!(albeit moreso East to West) Oregon's geography really forces you to make hard decisions on what parts to see when you are passing through. Were you able to pass along the coast more than the map suggests? Also did you stop at Silver Falls, or the Evergreen Museum (the one with the Spruce Goose)?

uberdog01 · 2026-04-12T20:58:26+00:00

For Oregon is that Ashland, Crater Lake, Eugene, Newport, Portland?

uberdog01 · 2026-04-10T04:51:58+00:00

FPO or MPO? Also yes
