This is the bridge that replaced "
galloping Gertie",
the bridge across the Tacoma Narrows that swayed, bucked and then
collapsed in the famous 1940 film. Actually, it's now two bridges as
another entire bridge was built recently so now there are more lanes
across. It connects the Tacoma area with the Kitsap Peninsula.
I
had a short shift at Fort Nisqually today. So I left early and took a drive around the somewhat
cooler Pt. Defiance Park's 5 mile Drive. There are so many trees that
it was about 10 degrees cooler than the freeway had been earlier. It is
from one of the viewpoints that I made this sketch.
