Old Bomber Wreck
The hills and cliffsides of Cape Suzette hold some rewards
for those who sightsee on their own. One curious thing explorers
may find is the wreckage of a bomber plane at a deep canyon's
edge; the aircraft apparently made a hard landing on the plateau,
cutting furrows into the earth as it slid just short of the
chasm. Wings broken, propellors bent back, landing gear buckled
the glinting gray wreck, stripped of its paint, looks
for all the world like a crippled aluminum bird. Unclaimed
by salvagers, the empty husk, its true story forgotten, sits
as a silent tribute to planes lost in storm and battle. The
few who know of this place go there to spend time in quiet reflection.
