Boating on Lake Washington
Are you a boater? Check out
These are boats cruising around during SeaFair 2007. This is about 5 times the normal speed. If you look closely, in the first clip, a small boat bumps the tip of the Coastguard boat as it turns. And in the second clip, a helicopter is landing on the beach in the background.
This footage was taken August 4, 2007 on the west side of Mercer Island (in Washington state) looking out at Lake Washington just south of the I-90 floating bridge. For more information on SeaFair, go to seafair.com.

FOLDING BIKE?! ???????? Best Places to Bike in Seattle | Local Lens Seattle
It’s just like riding a bike!
We hit the road to try out some of the best areas to ride your bike in Seattle. And it wasn’t just any bike. It’s the CHANGE bike from A high performance commuter bike that folds up in seconds. It’s so small it can even fit in a SmartCar. With 24 gears this bike can take you up hills and cruising through the city.
So where should you take your family this summer? Kelly Hanson and Andrew Coleman Smith did some of the leg work (or rather pedal work) for you! ????????
????Alki Beach: A beautiful waterfront ride that’s great for all skill levels.
????Green Lake Park: a 3 mile loop that you can even bring your dog to.

S.S. Queen loading
SUMMARY
From F.Z. Maguire catalogue: Shows the S.S. Queen at Seattle with an immense crowd of miners crowding the decks of the boat and the docks, carrying aboard baggage, implements, etc. Taken at the height of the excitement and gives a good idea of the vast numbers that started for the gold fields.
Probably part of the Northern Pacific Railway Series (Edison films catalog): The following pictures were taken by our artists at various points on the Northern Pacific Railway. We are greatly indebted to their officials who afforded us every opportunity in their power to obtain these splendid views. Many of the scenes are incident to the excitement prevailing at the time of the Klondike gold rush. They show the resources of this company for handling large numbers of people, baggage, freight and excursion parties, and give to prospective tourists and merchants an idea of the facilities with which this road handles traffic of all kinds (p. 9).

Big, Bigger, BIGGEST! 3 MASSIVE MACHINES that move! (World’s biggest / largest ever built!)
Big, Bigger, BIGGEST! 3 MASSIVE MACHINES that move (and work!) (World’s biggest / largest ever built!)
NASA CRAWLER-TRANSPORTERS:
The NASA crawler-transporters are the largest land transport vehicles in the world. Each crawler weighs about 2.7 million kilograms or about 6 million pounds. They are 40 meters or 131 feet long and 35 meters or 114 feet wide.
Built in 1965 at a cost of 14 million US dollars each, the 2 crawler-transporters are actually nicknamed “Hans” and “Franz”.
And what absolutely magnificent works of design and engineering they both are – these massive machines and their combined 8 thousand horse power engines have smoothly and faithfully carried all the Saturn V rockets and all the Space Shuttles the 5 mile journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the Launch Pad.
And in fact between the 2 of them they have travelled more than 3,400 miles in total, that’s about the distance from Miami to Seattle.
BERTHA:
Big Bertha is the world’s largest tunnel boring machine… and here she is in 41 pieces leaving Osaka Bay Japan on route to the United States of America.
The 80 million dollar 57.5 foot diameter Bertha was designed specifically for the SR99 Tunnel Project commissioned by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Named after Seattle’s only Female Mayor, Bertha Knight Landes, the massive machine Bertha is 326 feet long and weighs 7,000 tons or 14 million pounds.
And as she winds her way under Seattle, Bertha will chew through approximately 35 feet of rock and soil each day. She will also, using her giant pair of arms, automatically erect and seal thousands of concrete panels as she goes.
She is simply incredible, and is surely one of the greatest machines ever devised.
BAGGER 293:
Bagger 293 is the biggest terrestrial vehicle of all time (and the biggest mining machine ever). Built in 1995 by the German industrial company TAKRAF, Bagger 293 is a giant bucket wheel excavator that currently works in a brown coal mine near Hambach in western Germany.
At 738 feet long and towering 315 feet high, this gigantic contraption weighs 14,200 tonnes or about 31 million pounds.
Powered by enough electricity to sustain a medium sized town, each of Bagger 293s 20 buckets can hold about 80 bathtubs worth of dirt, meaning it can move about 8.5 million cubic feet of earth per day.
… to put that in perspective, that’s the equivalent of digging a really, really big hole…. and to be more precise… that’s about the size of digging a football field 30 meters or about 100 feet deep, in a single day.
If you want buy one of these monstrous mechanical marvels, you’ll need at least 100 million US dollars and a crew of 5 to drive it… but you won’t have to worry about speeding tickets, as this Big Bopper has a top speed of only 0.9 kilometres per hour.

THE TRAVEL DIARIES - A SOCIAL PANTS EXPERIMENT
Welcome to The Social Pants Experiment. This season, The Travel Diaries.
Last year, I spent my time on daily Vlogs. What did I learn? My Travel Videos were well received. So, this year (2019) I'm focusing on fewer videos with greater depth of content.
And, specifically, focused on my extensive travels around the globe.
The term Travel Vlogger gets thrown around a lot these days. It's a standard on YouTube. Consistently trending on Instagram, and can be confusing for those seeking a taste of reality. Let's change that right now!
I write for fun. I travel out of necessity. And, this year- these are my travel diaries. I hope you enjoy.
25,000 Volts Under the Sea: Laying of the San Juan Cable (1952)
This BPA film tells the story of the world's longest single-length submarine high-voltage cable, which delivered electric power from the Columbia River to the San Juan Islands in Washington state in 1951. The project, designed and carried out by BPA, involved laying four and a half miles of 25,000-volt electric transmission cable (conductor) across Rosario Strait from Anacortes to Decatur Island. Other facets included installing a wood pole line on the island, followed by another two-mile submarine power cable to Lopez Island. The project cost $600,000 and was considered a major technological achievement at the time. This BPA film, also known as The Laying of the San Juan Cable, shows the planning, engineering, transportation and installation of the submarine cable. The cable, which was four and two-thirds inches in diameter and weighed 19 pounds per foot for a total of nearly three-quarter of a million pounds, was wound for shipping in one continuous 7.5-mile length. The film also includes an animated model that demonstrates how the cable was carried inside the ship. The project began April 17, 1951, and Orcas Power and Light Cooperative began receiving power from BPA on July 22, 1951.
Cable failures in the 1960s led to a second cable installation in 1966 and a third in 1972.
