This week’s URBEX (urban exploration) trip took me a few minutes from the house and into Providence. We see this bridge every day, and I never knew the story behind it. Now I do.

The intro from Wikipedia:

The Crook Point Bascule Bridge (or the Seekonk River Drawbridge) is a defunct Scherzer rolling lift railway bridge which spans the Seekonk River, connecting the city of Providence, Rhode Island, to the suburb of East Providence. Stuck in the open position since its abandonment in 1976, it is known to nearby residents as the “Stuck-Up Bridge” and has become somewhat of a local icon of urban decay.^[1]

Of course they do…  <must change subject>    Hey, how about those Bruins?

Not with the weather. Not with fishing. Not with returning home with a favorite lure.

Of all the shots taken during our adventure today (canoeing on Brickyard Pond), the shot of a Dandelion taken as we were leaving ends up being the best of the bunch. Sigh.

…..vault the benches at the Fort Adams State Park. Don’t let those huge yachts, quaint historic side streets, and mansions distract you. Jumping the benches at Fort Adams is the new attraction. Eric shows good technique here while Christy waits on deck.

Martin and Diane are in New York City this weekend. These shots were taken with his phone at the World Trade Center Memorial.

Christy changes direction on the opponent. The girls played well today against Portsmouth after being robbed of a win yesterday by Cranston.
