David, I really like the WPA projects too. Some really wonderful stuff was built during that time. I'll have to drive up and see this bridge. Is it still possible to cross it?
I unfortunately don’t have a picture of it, but when I was last at Whatcom Falls I remember there being a long chute/slide with grates on it, presumably to prevent visitors like myself who daydreamed of riding down it. It was right by that bridge. Do you happen to know the original purpose behind it?
Thanks for your talk on Saturday in Bham. I’m enjoying Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales. I worked at Riverside State Park (home to the Bowl and Pitcher basalt formations) in Spokane during the summer breaks from college in the 60’s where I first became acquainted with the wonderful WPA structures.
That bridge is like a Roman aqueduct. Interesting history of the stone. It is s like civilizations of past in reverse. They used to dismantle and recycle Roman structures like Hadrian’s wall to build their buildings.
