Neat. At the risk of upsetting folks with a non-racing story I saw an
eagle once.
Well, I've seen many eagles. The one that I remember was on the way to
a climbing
trip in the Tetons. I had driven most of the way from Salt Lake after a
dead of night
start. We got to Alpine, Wyoming just before dawn, I was tired, another
guy took
over driving. It might have been my old '67 Coronet wagon. Anyway, we
start
heading up Alpine Canyon along the Snake River. I was trying to get
comfy in
the back seat for a nap. Along the way I sat up to rearrange the
sweaters and
such I was using for a pillow and glanced out the window. It was a
cool, foggy
morning in the dim light of the breaking dawn. A *huge* Golden eagle swoops
out of the mist, snags a fish from the river and disappears into the
swirling
gray. Beautiful!
I'm still glad that I happened to look out the window at that very moment.
