And you didn't notice the odd shape, compared to the surrounding
terrain, when you were flying around inside it?

Interesting. Didn't know it was an impact crater. Wish I had known that
when I was there. I flew in a few years ago when Glacier Girl was under
construction in a Cherokee 180 at full GW. Did a circling departure over
the field to gain enough altitude to feel comfortable heading for the
notch in the surrounding mountains.
