The Stolen Bridge

Well, I suppose it had to happen but it was a bad time for the bridge to get stolen. The Astoria-Megler bridge was, if anything, over built. On the sky line it’s very imposing, unless it’s raining and unfortunately it’s almost always raining, but normally it is very grand. It doesn’t go anywhere. It was billed as “the bridge to nowhere” which seemed great at the time all six miles of it spanning the great Columbia River from Astoria Oregon to the very grim Dysmal Nitch.
