Spade Lake in the center, Venus Lake above it & Mt. Daniel looks over them. At about 13 miles from trailhead to lakeshore, the fishing is always good. We camped on the point jutting in on the right side, were front-seat to a dogfight courtesy of the WA ANG & NAS Whidbey, it was F-4 vs A-6.

The A-6 driver was pulling out all the stops, but I think the F-4 nailed him.


Many moons ago I was hiking in to climb Daniel and got buzzed by a couple of jets going through a small pass near Cathedral Rock. I saw them a split second before I heard them, and the sound was defeaning. It is the was the only time in my life remember having to clench up in a hurry to avoid crapping myself out of fear/surprise. I literally fell over backwards. The plane in the lead was barrel rolling as he went over the pass and I swear I could see a smile on the pilots face. Wicked.

Sorry for the tangent.
