Thanks. I think I drove by there once back in the 1980s or 1990s. I lived in California for 20 years and Arizona for about 18 months. I know I've been to Vegas, Pahrump, the Grand Canyon, Laughin and other places near there.Oops. I intended to include where it was but didn’t.

So he landed with the tray table up and the seat in the upright position?All hail the Bar-tailed Godwit!
This bird is a champion flyer and once again an individual has broken the world record for the longest continual flight.
This week a juvenile Godwit, just 5 months old, landed in Ansons Bay in northeast Tasmania. It had been tagged in Alaska and departed there on October 13, 2022 before flying non-stop to Tasmania.
Godwits are regular visitors to Tasmania so it’s likely that many undertake a similar flight but it's the first time a tagged bird has flown between Alaska and Tasmania.
This bird flew a minimum of 13,560 km in 11 days 1 hour, that’s an average of over 51kmh continually for those 11 days. And don’t forgot there was no eating, drinking or sleeping during that journey.
Be right back. I gotta go back to the car and haul in more groceries.
