Hartford Eastern Railway, in front of Big Four Inn, Monte Cristo, ca. 1923

The Hartford Eastern Railway was a historic 42-mile standard-gauge shortline in Washington state that ran from Hartford to the mining town of Monte Cristo. Incorporated in 1915 and operating until the 1930s, it successfully pivoted to tourism, utilizing custom gas motorcars—affectionately called the "Galloping Goose"—to bring visitors to the Rucker brothers' Big Four Inn. 

Big Four Inn was a resort near the base of the mountain built by the Rucker Brothers in 1921 until it was destroyed by fire in 1949.

Snoqualmie Pass is a mountain pass that carries Interstate 90 (I-90) through the Cascade Range in the US state of Washington

This is the story of the evolution of the Snoqualmie Pass, from narrow Indian trail to multi-laned Interstate 90, and of the people who took part along the way. For the hundreds who drive through the pass daily, for the countless thousands more who have skied, hiked, snowshoed and climbed in this alpine playground, it's a fascinating tale

Armed with dagger-like claws that can grow up to 4 in (10 cm) long, the Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) can leap nearly 7 ft (2 m) high and deliver a fatal kick. Often considered the world’s most dangerous bird, this powerful animal can exceed weights of 130 lbs (59 kg) and reach heights of 6 ft (1.8 m). Despite its fearsome reputation, this typically shy species prefers to avoid human contact and can be found in the rainforests of northeastern Australia and New Guinea.
