On our way to Portland we spent a day touring the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, home of the Hughes Flying Boat “Spruce Goose”.  Seeing the “Spruce Goose” with several planes on display under its wings. The Old Stone Village Campground had a very nice paved walkway over to the museum. We spent a good part of one day there and enjoyed talking with the volunteers, particularly one of the planes we toured, was guided by a man who was the pilot of a Douglas C-47 in Vietnam and a lady who was a stewardess on the commercial version of the same plane DC-3. We also saw an IMAX movie of a modern-day fighter pilot’s war training, so cool and well done. The space museum was very well done with exhibits showing the world history of man getting into space. Outside were many planes, helicopters and rockets. This was a very good stop.
