What is wrong with me? I never even finished posting my trip to Spokane. Certainly having a lack of motivation for just about everything. :p

After meetings Saturday, I talked a couple of colleagues into walking downriver to ride the purple gondolas across the Lower Falls. It was a nice long ride too, about 15 minutes. It would stop occasionally until a new batch of passengers got on. The only discomfort was the little cars had no ventilation except for the top six inches of window being open. On a really hot day, it would have been very uncomfortable. On the return trip, I looked up to see the cow skull decorations on the old bridge above us.

Lower Falls



More of the colmnar basalt that seems to be used for many decorative structures around Spokane; this is a little side branch of the Spokane River.



Great old clock tower that used to be part of a train station here - the station was demolished to make way for the World Expo and only the tower is left. There was a concert just finishing up as we passed.



"Centennial Sculpture 1881-1981" - floating in the river and still shiny after more than 25 years. Nice place for ducks to nap (note duck on front column). Also, on this trip, I started Waymarking as well as geocaching. I found a few geocaches here, but for Waymarking you only have to find a place, object or structure. Still gets you out to see things you might not have before, but if you don't have time to hunt for a cache, you can just log a visit.
