Wow, that brings back fond memories! When I was growing up in the area we would exclaim as the sonic boom reached our ears: There's goes Gold Creek! Or There goes Lemon Creek!  But, there was less than 6500 souls in the Juneau-Douglas area. One time I had a loose tooth and my sister was gonna do the tooth to doorknob form of dentistry when at the very moment she slammed the door, Gold Creek went out and wham! The earth shook a little and that tooth was out!  I love those slides...
