I guess not. It was a few years ago, so I don't remember in detail. Not very
observant, I guess, eh?

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.
