[oneshot 1]

Went to the Park after Church yesterday to eat.

Drove down the Spring it is low and clear.

I know being right here I should know but why is the Wooden Bridge shut down?

Because they paid a stupid amount to have it replaced a couple years ago, and the very first flood shifted it.  They want the contractor to come back and fix it.....but the contractor is saying "NO, we built it exactly they way that you insisted, and we're not coming back and fixing/replacing it for free everytime a tree branch bumps it".     The engineer suggested that they alter the location of the bridge to a less necked down area of the stream and elevate it some, but noooooo......it had to stay RIGHT THERE.

I was wondering because they was to build a bridge heavy enough for a Firetruck then I seen what they  did.

OK it takes 5 minutes more to come in the other way but 5 minutes can seem like hours when waiting on an Ambulance. 

Finally they are to replace the bridge over 64HWY it has been unsafe for years but they couldn't agree on shutting it down.

The bridge I wanna see replaced is that skinny little POS on 64 just outside of Lebanon.   I've almost clicked mirrors with people on that thing multiple times.

I'm surprised there isn't an accident there every day.

Yelp it has been hit many times. 

All they would have to do at the Park is put in a header version of the Wistle Bridge.

Your Sunday plan sounds pretty solid. After church, I always crave some outdoor time, so hitting up the park is a must. It's like a mini getaway.

But man, it's a bummer about the Wooden Bridge being shut down. I'm not entirely sure why, but my guess is it's probably due to some maintenance work or repairs. Better to have it sorted now than risk any accidents later on.

And hey, if you're ever itching for some real excitement, you gotta check out the best amusement parks usa. Trust me, they've got all the thrills and spills you could ever dream of. Let me know if you want some recommendations for parks or anything else.

I heard that bridge is getting replaced mid-March.  👍 

Construction to begin just after opening day of the regular trout season.

Are they replacing with another wooden bridge?

They need a pull ferry like in The Outlaw Josey Wales. Just tie it up in high water. Cheap.

They need to build something solid.
