This has been bothering me, I can't find anything about how big it is, 30 feet? 40 feet?

Every time Fish recalls running it, it grows about a foot. I think it's up to about 75 feet now.

I haven't actually seen him run it, myself.  The time he dropped it in front of me, it was more like a 40' seal launch

This is at flood stage, last fall, was there with Fish and Dave. You can decide how high it is.

One way to measure it is with a weight and a string.  I saw it on the discovery channel.

So, I was about to post asking where exactly this is, but then I checked Google Maps, with their awesome terrain feature and StreetView, and I think I've found it. Can someone please confirm?

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=north+bend,+washington&sll=47.537176,-121.879235&sspn=0.018745,0.017574&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=North+Bend,+King,+Washington&ll=47.44443,-121.698861&spn=0.037557,0.051498&t=p&z=15

I also love how the shadow shows that the Google Mobile lost one of their stackers and that the kayaks have gone missing with it:

Yea that's it. Easiest to pull over just after the bridge and then walk back up the west bound lane shoulder to the big boulder pile.
