Martians attacking Indianapolis

Forgot to post the blah blah yesterday.  Calvin says it quite well, as usual.  Here is yesterdays Calvin and Hobbes.  http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2012/08/28

As usual, he says it quite elegantly, as well as giving me today's post title.

No Martians attacking Indianapolis, but I do have some good shots of the three bridges over the Crooked River where it is crossed by Hwy 97.
 
 These signs were everywhere.
 The one in the middle is the old highway. The current auto bridge is red and behind the old bridge.
The one in the foreground is the current rail road bridge.
 This was taken with one hand holding on to a branch while the other held the camera out over the top of the waterfall.
 The Waterfall.  The stream feeding it was 18" wide and 6" deep. Explaining the distinct lack of spray.
 The Rail Road Bridge.
This is the Auto bridge looking upstream.

The signs didn't lie. The concrete wall at the viewing site is at the bottom of the photo.

Tomorrow I go back to Portland.  Before I go, I hope to finish up the sheet goods storage rack that I almost finished today.  With luck I'll get some photos up before I go.

Cooler tomorrow.
