Horizon View Park - Lake Forest Park

kind of ironic, usually I am not quick enough to catch an unexpected plane zooming by, but here I am at a site that used to watch foe enemy aircraft . . .

from Lake Forest Park View:

"Little known Horizon View Lake Forest Park fact:  Ready for this one? Horizon View Park used to be a Nike Missile site!  It was the radar tracking portion of the system, but it was right here in Horizon View Park from 1957 until it was decommissioned in 1964.  You can still see the relics if you look closely.  After my daughter beat me at a game of tennis, we wandered up an old staircase that was covered in brambles and seemed to literally lead to nowhere.  I didn’t know it at the time, but this was one of the radar pads left over from the old site – it was still a bit eerie.  The actual launching site is over on 1st and 228th on Nike Hill in Bothell (I also had no idea where the nick name had come from for the hill). Through out the 1950s Seattle got a lot of these installed apparently. "


Dang, I didn't read up on this park before I went, when the rain started getting heavy, I figured I had seen enough . . . apparently I should have continued to wander past the tennis courts . . .

 As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
