Helicycle Sighting in Olympia

---

Jackie Ashley, Ruth's cousin Margie's neighbor, included Judy on a walk with her kids and Margie's grandkids to feed goats and chickens that live on a nearby campground. When SHE heard what had brought Ruth and Judy to town, she said, "You should see what my husband Clayton has in the garage -- it's his second wife!"

Um, okay...

So, here she is...

Clayton finished building the helicycle in 2005, and modified it from a kit designed by B.J. Schramm, founder of Rotorway, to sport a 100 horsepower turbine engine.

How FUN!
Judy and Team, Thanks for including us in your adventure! Be blessed with BLUE SKYS and timely flights! One note, BJ Schramm was the inventor of the Helicycle... I will leave the helicopter talk up to Clayton. I am sure he will comment when he reads your great blog! Hey, another first for me, I have never entered a comment on a blog before! Thanks again for stretching my worldview! Jackie
