The photo to the right shows
the power of the eruption of Mount
St Helens in lower Washington State in May of 1980. The twisted
remains of a bridge that once stood 7 miles upstream on the Tootle River.
Bridges below are from
around
Newport Oregon
Northbound from Newport
Note the large
stump sitting high and dry along the rivers edge. I wonder if
it the caused the destruction of the brick structure.
Serious
flooding.
The
Columbia River Bridge
Latourell
Falls
Just east of Portland
The falls, as well as other
falls and view points, are found on the 'frontage road' along side of Interstate
84 eastbound out of Portland Oregon.
Note the 'pipe
organ' lava visible near the bottom of the falls. This is very
similar to the Devil's Postpile
in the eastern Sierras.
