| This is my second Tacoma Narrows Bridge photo and I have to say, they're one of the more complicated street mat pics to take. If you ever hear of a woman in WA state driving off the side of the bridge for no known reason, suspect it was ChristineLarsen and a street mat. |

| ChristineLarsen commented on 02.04.05 | | What in the heck is Lushootseed, Wim? Should I google it? This bridge is named the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, so I think you can figure out what town it's attached to. The "Puget Sound" is a very deep waterway that runs from the Pacific Ocean into the the middle of the west side of WA state. Very pretty. Very cold. Very deep. A second Narrows Bridge is being built to the right side of this picture--even as I type this someone is pouring concrete in it's construction! How exciting! |

| ChristineLarsen commented on 01.28.05 | | No, same old crappy windshield. If you'd like to donate to my windshield fund however, email me at livingitrural@yahoo.com for information. Believe it or not, Wim, there is a walkway right along the road. Hard to see in the photo, but it's maybe 3 feet wide or so. Bikes and brave pedestrians go across from time to time. I walked across once (it's about 1-1/2 mile from one side to the other) but I grew wearing of the honking horns and strange people yelling from their cars. It's rather scary as you're way, way up high over the Puget Sound waterway. One wrong turn for a motorist and you're shark food. |
