Day 60: Let me tell you this about that: I did not like being on the far side of either of these bridges (Kernahan Rd., top; Elbe, bottom) to take these pictures for you. While I was standing on the Kernahan bridge, a tree struck one of the pylons with a loud thunk. Okay, I did not feel the bridge shake. I won't claim that, although I was left with a profound sense of my mortality as I thought about what was going on under the Nisqually's roiling surface. I have not seen it this high since the November 2006 flood...you know, the one which ate Sunshine Point Campground and closed the Park for six months. As a matter of fact, the Kernahan bridge was rebuilt after the 2006 flood. Here's a mere 10 seconds of the action today.
