One last thing before we leave this beautiful, rainy paradise. A trip to the Nutty Narrows Bridge in Longview, WA.
This bridge was built in 1963 by Amos Peters to give squirrels a way to cross the busy thoroughfare without getting flattened by passing cars.
It is 60 feet long, is made of aluminum and fire hose and cost $1000 to build.
Amos Peters died in 1984 and a 10 foot wooden squirrel sculpture 
Once again, Roadside America, has provided me with another piece of Americana.
Cute!!!
