Oh, I didn't know about the recent fire. I know that road was closed years ago due to a previous fire, of course. Can't say I'm surprised; damn near everything burned this year, it seems.
I guess that was Kate Brown in the crosshairs? Yikes. I can't stand her, but that seems a bit extreme.
I was sad to see the graffiti on the upper end of the upper tunnel.
Yeah, well, we live in an era with literally zero respect, where destruction is lauded, where spitting on history is considered noble. So yeah, no surprise that lowlife asswipes would do that. I bet they thought they were cool, bet they bragged to their friends, bet they instagrammed the eff out of it. I predict in my lifetime the statue of liberty will be covered in graffiti, and the authorities will be scared to do anything about it. Doesn't matter, since the statue will be salvaged by meth-heads no later than 2030, melted down to fund the second American "revolution".
Oh, and I also blame Brian Edwards
Given the intensity of the Riverside fire, I'm guessing that bridge over the South Fork is either gone or horribly unsafe to cross now.
Ah, interesting. If so, glad I got in there when I could. That hike may have gone from more-difficult-than-it-used-to-be, to how-the-heck-do-I-get-across-this?
Regarding the video, I strongly prefer informative narration to mood-enhancing music, but even so, I enjoyed it. Was surprised when you hopped across the lip of the upper falls.
Not that it's super scary, just didn't see it coming.
Oh, just noticed this was the debut post by OP. Welcome!
