I vaguely remember it back then ... I had been part of a dance festival at the Seattle Center in 1973 ... a sophomore in High School and then we were asked to participate in the Worlds Fair entertainment event in 1974. I also remember how badly we preformed because it had been so long since we had done our dancing. The cool thing was the trip to the fair.
So after a few years now ... say thirty-eight, it was interesting to return. Quite frankly, I remember nothing of the trip except from a few photos that were still laying around. 
What a cool park! I was most impressed with the river itself! What power! I can't even imagine what that trip would be like to be in a canoe and come upon something like these falls.There is actually an island in the middle of the falls that is also accessible via bridges. This is such an addition to any large city ... something very European in that many cities there have parks you can go in and completely lose yourself. The peace and serenity that comes from mother nature is sublime.
The raging waters remove the sounds of any existence of human populations. Just a nice place to listen to nature's wonder.
Megan and I enjoyed our time there. She had to show me the garbage eating goat ... you press a button, hold the garbage under the goat's mouth and a vacuum sucks in the refuse ... then compacts it in back. Apparently, not even goats can eat garbage for too long ... this guy is "out of order" at the moment.Should have gotten a picture of the van when we loaded two pieces of furniture inside ... a full size couch and a love seat. it was pretty tight in there. Fortunately I had some great guys available back home to help me get it all out and stored properly!
Warmest Regards,- Chef Tom Heintz
