This is one of the National Park units Cindy and i had visited but before camera. So I had the opportunity to re-visit and take a few shots, so that park is now off the need to finish list. This is the infamous stone bridge, still the same foundation as it was in 1889, on the 31st of May. The dam upstream broke and released water at the rate of the Mississippi. It swept debris and mud for 14 miles before this bridge held and the shattered homes, trapped people and trees began to build up. Then it caught fire. In all more than 2200 people died that night and several communities were mostly or completely destroyed. It left a long-term scar on the country and changed the way the law was applied to a liability based system.
