That fence is new. Apparently there is a door into the Gold Medal mill down there because I saw a bunch of kids climb out once.

It would probably be good to actually put a lock on the gate though. :)

Great security. :)

The grass continues to grow. Even despite our pulling out the "staples" on the 4th. :)

There's the post office. It's over two city blocks long. But before I go in, I think I'll try the 3rd Ave bridge. It's the one that goes right over the falls pretty much. I have never been on it before.

The lock is on the right and the end of the apron in the lower left.

Now that's a weird angle of the same piece of apron. :)

This is the hydro power plant on the east bank.

That's quite a "splash" (for lack of a better word) at the bottom of the falls there.

Main St. from above. Notice the grass on the roof of the buildings...
dcp 1226
There is an apartment tower just off the picture to the left. Its "backyard" includes a pool and the grassy roof of the building! Crazy! I've never seen that before.

The top of the apron. The post office is on the far bank.

Lots of geese standing on the sand bar.
