It's the first week to link up with Tricky over at
F.A.S.T - Family Attempting to Survive the Times for Five on Friday. I really wasn't sure what I was going to post but wanted to show my support so I thought I'd hold on to a few photos from our Sunday out trip and share five facts about the place we stopped at - The Hamilton Railroad Bridge.
This rather rickety looking wooden railway bridge is actually still in use! I was actually surprised when I read that as I had seen it up close! It is a 420 foot (128metre) trestle bridge.
It is thought to be built sometime in the early twentieth century but no-one seems sure of the date.
It's quite a popular fishing spot. Even though it was quite chilly when we stopped by there were several people fishing.
The reason it's a great fishing spot is because of the Hamilton Dam where Trout and Steelhead are said to collect. The dam is thought to have been built by early settlers to power a saw mill and rebuilt in 1855 to power a flour mill.
Rabbit River is the name of the river. Not sure why it got its name - makes you wonder, doesn't it?
I think this is number six but so excited I had to share!
While we were here I saw my first sign of Spring! There were actually some buds growing on the bushes. I was so excited. Can you tell?
