The top shot is the head of the larger procession crossing 167 at 15th st, enroute to 18 WB. The rest of the shots are from about an hour earlier, with the smaller procession coming through Sumner enroute to the Puyallup fairgrounds for staging. I didn't get any more pics of the larger one; busy saluting.

Almost forgot- escorts were using LERN, some FD units were coordinating on REDNET, DNR was using some simplex 151 freq (I didn't log it, sue me), and someone was yakking encrypted on 163.100. This last may have been one of the Fort Lewis or McChord ARFF units; there were several. Come to think of it, there were also a bunch of NPS and USFS rigs.

The DNR was probably on 151.415, DNR "common".

Sorry I didn't note it, but it wasn't the Common freq; it was one of the new narrowband ones.
