Some times having a tourist around is ok, they do the darndest things.
I saw a bunch of cars stopped, so methinks this must be important. Well, after 3 or 4 miles of walking I arrived at the spectacle of an airplane wreckage literally crawling with hundreds of tourists in all manner of embarrassing poses and stunts. With some judicious timing, and lots of luck, I got a reasonable image.
Th 4 mike hike out was a little like "why did I follow 700 people out there?" Lesson two.
