Moving on, I'm now at Titlow Park, just about the only place in Tacoma
where one can get a good ground-level view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge
without being in a car on a busy highway. It's about a 1-1/2 mile hike
to the viewing place I found. On the way, there were some ducks and a
goose.
After walking in a mile and a half, I discover that the prime viewing
area has been fenced off for some reason. Still, I'm able to get a
half-way decent panoramic shot of the bridge - however, the east tower
is obscured by a tree. (Later, I was to discover another viewing area
that would have been even better. By that time, though, my legs were
beginning to cramp, and I was in no condition to walk another two miles
round trip. Note to myself (and Mom) - get some walking excercise in
before we go to Alaska. We don't want our stateroom smelling like
Ben-Gay the entire trip. I can barely move today.)
And, one final shot - the east tower of the bridge, with my favorite
subject - railroad tracks - in the foreground.
