What’s the scoop on these motorized gliders?
As Tarnation* is within earshot of the South County Park (known locally as Wallace Pond) and the scenic Cowlitz River, these tiny aircraft wheel slowly above the fields on sunny mornings. Variations include the para-sail-type, seated classic winged models and others. I always wave, as I did when I was child, though I doubt they notice.
*Tarnation is my label for the hobby farm just across the river from Toledo. Almost daily I “drag The Girls around Tarnation” to satisfy their need for exercise. Who drags whom is largely a matter of opinion.
