Thank you, I appreciate the comment!

Thanks for the comment. The Evergreen museums are totally worth a trip to see! Given the huge growth in the Willamette Valley region's wine industry in the last few decades, it could easily be combined with a stops at a number of vineyards. Lot's of really nice tasting rooms and experiences to be had very close by.

On a purely practical note, if I only referred to it as you suggest, then the vast majority of search results returned would be for a Lockheed C-130 Hercules, about which most people are not very curious. I did my research, hence the inclusion of the term "H-4 Hercules" in the video and description. But if striking the moniker "Spruce Goose" from pop culture and aviation is important to you, I'd encourage you to reach out to the Evergreen Museum and its official guides first, since in their literature and tours it is typically referred to as the Spruce Goose. In addition, they would need to fix the plaque outside the plane awarding landmark status by the Society of Mechanical Engineers uses the term Spruce Goose, but not Hercules. readtheplaque.com/plaque/howard-hughes-flying-boat-the-spruce-goose#gsc.tab=0 So at the risk of alienating both purist Avgeeks and dead Howard Hughes, most people on Earth (and RUclips) know this plane by its nickname, so anyone producing a video about this aircraft would be foolish not to include it.

@@GlobeDecker You are not wrong, I'm just a purist, and Howard is a hero of mine.

Thanks for all the details! Our guide mentioned about 50% of that, but never heard the part about the Smithsonian and cutting it up, crazy! One additional thing the guide mentioned it by the time all the transport costs were added up, it was over $60 million that was spent moving it from Long Beach and getting re-assembled at Evergreen! I appreciate your comment!

Glad you enjoyed. It's well worth the upcharge to go inside.

ruclips.net/video/6-ntcI2Eu_U/видео.htmlsi=3oXn2JKgT2LinJf3&t=33 and note the first line of the description "The Spruce Goose (the Hughes H-4 Hercules Flying Boat)..."

I had the same thought. My guess is that it came down to the availability of a suitably large temporary exhibition space. The Toronto metro area is about two million people larger than Montreal so I guess they figured that would also equal more ticket sales.

I went to races in 2022, 2023, & 2024. Tickets for all were digital QR or barcodes. Some were issued as one three-day ticket, some were 3 one-day tickets.

@@GlobeDecker thanks, is it send to email?

@@VILEoIV Yes. I bought my tickets through either the individual circuit or from GPTicketshop.com and all the times they were emailed to me a month or so before the race weekend.

True...assuming you are in decent shape and can easily carry your gear up a relatively steep slope. But I saw a number of people really struggling, and they had to send snowmobiles down to retrieve a few.

wait... they are going to replace it!?!?! about time

@@freeskierdude_sorry meant they really need to rebuild both NW and Outback.

Indeed, Bachelor still brings the magic! Thanks for the view and comment!

I need to check that out. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment! Have an amazing time, given the epic snowfall so far this year, they should have a HUGE base by March!

True, pretty much everything on the Cervinia side in Italy is definitely cheaper! But from my limited experience, it doesn't have the historic and unique "ski village charm" of Zermatt. Although with the right lift pass you can ride the exact same slopes, I did not feel they were entirely equivalent experiences. Thanks for your comment!

I got very lucky with the driving conditions in that there hadn't been any new show in over a week and the roads were almost 100% dry with no checkpoints for chains open. The road is no joke, but not unsafe and as a Colorado driver, you'd likely have no problems. The only issue would be if they got a serious snow event and chains were required, then you'd likely have to buy a set in Santiago, or just hedge your bets and bring some in your luggage. So...it's kind of just the luck of the draw on the weather. Of course the least stressful transport would be just to arrange a shuttle. But be sure to arrange your return journey in advance, you're not going to find any Ubers up there! If you are staying in a self catering Airbnb, be sure to buy all your food & booze before heading up the mountain, it's ridiculously expensive up on mountain!

@ Thank you for the response! I’ll think it over for sure but will definitely get chains if I decide to drive up. I have also heard about one way traffic- that is only applicable on weekends correct if we wanted to drive down on a weekday morning? Really appreciate your help!

@@rachelek4658 Glad to be of help! I drove to and from on weekdays so had two way traffic up and down. But what you've heard is true about the one way traffic on weekends. If I remember correctly, I think the Valle Nevado website has a live guide to that on it's mountain report while in season. www.vallenevado.com/en/mountain-report/ In daytime hours it's up only in the morning and down only in afternoons but I can't remember the precise hours of the timing.

Thanks so much. I appreciate the comment, have an amazing time in Zermatt!

I got an Airbnb for the Montreal 2024 weekend, of course the price was high, but I reserved it only about 4 months before. However the day the F1 calendar was announced for the 2025 season (more than a year before the next race) I reserved another Airbnb with free cancellation and it was very reasonable. That is the key, reserve your accommodations (hopefully with free cancellation) the moment the next year's race calendar is revealed, before they have a chance to jack up the price. This way you'll have a low price locked in, and the option to free cancel if you don't go.

I never noticed that! It looks a lot like a growth marking chart that many families had to track their children's height over the years. We had something similar in the 1970's. The layout of the kitchen in the actual house was a bit different than the one in the film, since any scenes that didn't directly show outdoor views were filmed in a studio sound stage instead of the cramped house. I didn't see that object (chart?) in the House From A Christmas Story.

I'm not sure what you're referring to? I didn't see it in the leg lamp delivery shots. What scene is it in?

​@@GlobeDeckeryou can see it when the father is peering into the kitchen when the dogs run through the house and are going out the back door. It's hanging on the wall on the left side of the kitchen exit door. The green washing machine is on the right side of the door. It's to the right of the refrigerator but to the left of the door. I tried linking to a photo but my comment was deleted.

​@@GlobeDeckerit's in the scene where the dogs are running through the house and out the kitchen rear exit door. To the left of the door is the refrigerator then the red& black cylinder. To the right of the door is a green ringer washing machine.

Actually, since Moana was set about 2,000 years ago, during the "Long Pause" in Polynesian history, she wouldn't be Chilean. Easter Island/Rapa Nui only became part of Chile in 1888. 😄

@@GlobeDecker So, you're right. But, actually, I will consider Moana as a Chilian. Otherwise, you are right ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I will Subscribe To your chain, Globe Decker

@@tromero527 Thanks, really appreciate the comment! No the runs in Zermatt are not harder, but they can be a LOT longer. Just remember the slightly different classification system, and be aware that when you’re “off piste” you’re pretty much on your own.

You're absolutely right, I totally forgot to include the tobagganing and other hotel organized evening activities after the skiing has shut down.

It's pretty far to Uber, but there's a number of paid airport shuttle van services to Banff from Calgary Airport. Once you are in Banff there's a free shuttle to the ski areas. www.skibig3.com/ski/ski-shuttle/

Valle Nevado typically opens in late June and closes in late September. So you'd likely have the best conditions in from mid July to early September.

Thanks! You're totally right about the quality, a rookie mistake. That was one the first videos I posted when I started the channel back in March. I hadn't figured out all the settings yet, and now that it has so many views I don't want to take it down to re-upload an HD version. Live and learn!

Thanks! I really appreciate the comment. It's such a gorgeous place, have an amazing time!

I've only been to 4 GP's but I completely agree with everything you said. Thanks for the watch and comment!

I hear ya! If I lived in Banff, I'd likely go to Norquay often! Short drive, friendly staff, and a wonderful low hassle, local mountain...but not a fly-in vacation destination.

Thanks! I recently retired from a teaching career and now have a part-time remote job that I can do from anywhere.

@GlobeDecker I thought you might be a teacher due to your informed delivery:)

Your experience may very well be different than mine. I went to both Banff and Zermatt last season; transport, accommodations, and food were all significantly more expensive in Zermatt.

Thanks, enjoy your stay up there!

If you wanted to go to dinner in the town of Banff at night how would you get back to your room? Will the gondola be running?

@@michaelstephens3483 The gondola from the base only operates until 5:00pm, except Fridays when it goes until 10:00pm. But if you have deep pockets, you can get a snowcat to take you up outside of those hours by advance reservation. www.sunshinemountainlodge.com/directions-transportation

Thank you! Have an amazing time.

I didn’t know that! I need to make you my music director 😜

Thanks! Be sure to check out my other two videos from Jordan to help in your planning as well. ruclips.net/video/MX5LgVitg_0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/oZyntrHhqHo/видео.html
