2025/11/15 • Historic Tenner Bridge ►
→ This bridge on E 166 St N, is on the path of Old US-169. Built in 1930, the bridge is now closed. There weren't any No Trespassing signs, so I walked the length of the bridge, taking pics and looking for obvious damage that would have warrented the closure. When I got to the far side, I was accosted by a man who claimed the bridge was on private property and told me I needed to leave. I didn't argue with him when I realized he was holding a gun. He escorted me the entire way back across the bridge and took pictures of me and my truck before I left.

◄ 2025/11/26 & 12/04 • Steve takes a tumble!
→ Working in my yard, cutting up some tree branches. Went to pull a loose branch out of a tree and lost my balance. I tried to catch myself on the trunk of the tree, but as I was reaching for it, at a really bad angle, I both heard and felt a loud pop as I was falling.
