I can see the new BM Chevelle in this one

I think Supercars' collection is just barely visible over by the two floating bridges on Lake Washington. Right near that huge swath of cleared land where Gates put his 40,000 sq. ft. house.

A pic taken of my House by my Son's Friend. He did it with a disposable camera strapped under a RC plane with a servo pressing the button. Only one pic per flight as you have to land the plane to wind the film. Kind of have to guess when to take the pic also.

GarnetM20 Jeff, you are right that IS Puget Sound! That's a really high shot, Kevin's house is just along the right edge of the picture near the top...mine is off screen to the right.

Amazing pictures for sure. My house is just off the screen to the right (north), about a fourth of the way down on the right hand side. Downtown Seattle and waterfront is the bay (called Elliot Bay) just above the south (left) floating bridge. Between my house on the right side of the screen and the first point on the shoreline is a park called Golden Gardens.

In the early 1970's Golden Gardens Park was where we raced after hours. I had a 70 LS6 Chevelle built to the max. Lift kit all the way around, had ladder bars, and 12" wide Bridgestones, motor was pretty much the way Motion Performance did cars. One night the Cops were patrolling in the distance(we were all parked) and started getting closer to me. My car was not technically street legal. I fired up to leave and immediately lights flashed on and they headed straight for my car. After about a 20 minute lecture, about "loud exhaust", "car was jacked up to high", "you kids are always racing down here", and "BLAH-BLAH-BLAH"; they gave me a choice. Either they would impound my car right then and there, or I was to take it home never to be seen on the street again, as they would impound it immediately. Easy choice for me! I went home.
