Aberdeen Drawbridge

This isn't Wisconsin in the Midwest US, this is the Chehalis River in Aberdeen, Washington.
I had some work on the west coast, and had a few hours free on a Sunday afternoon to see things that are much different than at home.
In time, I will download the pictures and show them. They are mostly coast scenery, and very few of trains. I will make web pages when the nights get longer.

The Chehalis River enters Grays Harbor, a big inlet from the Pacific Ocean. Two days before this picture, I saw the water flowing 'backwards' with the change in the tide.
It might be fun to canoe it. If you time it right, maybe you could travel 'downriver' all the way for a round trip?

.

There is a large drawbridge on the PS and P railroad.
It is different from many swing bridges because half of it is over land, instead of the more typical bridge with two water channels.

This is the Wishkah River north of the harbor.

Kite camera aerial view.
And US Highway 12 in the distance has two draw bridges.

I didn't get the view I wanted, I was too close and shot over and under.
This state is not flat, I had to raise the camera to see the hills and ridges, more so than back home.

.

I panned the approach over the land. There's two streets with clearances of 9 feet and 6 feet.

A few blocks away is a nice Star Wars mural.

Do Wookies look like Sasquatch?
