These photos are from today. My cousin took us on his boat. The photographer got some super shots from beneath the Veterans Memorial Bridge of the river valley (looking upriver / north). I got a few unforgettable ones of the bridge - from underneath!!!

Of course, now having shown us all that you know what all the details are under the bridge, you will have no other recourse but to model each and every prototypical aspect in full conformity to the prototype, :lol:

No, that was done to show any trolls considering this bridge as a habitat what they could expect. You know, like a real estate agent. Yeah, that's it. :lol:

You don't have to go looking under a bridge for trolls; there's a few too many right hereabouts, :roll:

I wasn't going to mention any names (Rufus). You're right, but admitting to having a problem is the first step to recovery. :lol:

What about that towboat sitting way up on the high pier (about 20+ feet above the water)? You don't see that every day.

Is that what that is? I was wondering what it was but it's hard to see it clearly....

It has push knees, isn't it a push boat?

They are still generally referred to as towboats.

Even though they push their tow from the rear. Yes.
I always liked to watch them take a tow around a bend in the river.
