continuing the wild goose chase
The bridge in Louisville is the last of the 5 bridges that I crossed yesterday. I took this photo from the parking area by the historic marker.

I learned a little history. Now it’s your turn.

I reproduced the image from the sign. Something seemed off when looking at the sign then back to the river. The sign seemed to be placed where the old photo was taken (much like mine above) but there is something wrong in the view. The historic photo had to be taken from the other side of the bridge and diagonally across the river from the sign location.
Notice the dam? Notice the reflections on the water? Calm water is always on the upriver side of a dam. No wonder the photo on the sign looked backwards to me.

Class dismissed, back to the wild goose chase.
There were only snowmobile tracks headed upriver.

The open channel on the far side of the bridge was goose free.

I’ll have to zoom in if you want to see the two geese in the right channel.

…and I bet you complain about your heating bill.

Goose stepping on ice

Time to give up the silly walk

and go for a cold swim.

Do geese float or swim?
This one is creating a good bow wake just staying in place in the swift current.

This goose was looking for something to eat and kept bobbing during the search. The river is shallow enough for the goose to reach the river bed.

Safe harbor? Dead End? Nope, just another place to stick your beak in.

I was going to finish and publish this post right after the first part but I got off my duff and left it while the getting was good. I’m back from Stone Valley now and getting this post out of the way. Expect to see a winter wonderland tomorrow.
