Enumclaw and The Tacoma Narrows Bridges

Sunday
Another town with a great name - Enumclaw, apparently a mainly a Danish settlement, this area is also big on logging. We are staying at the Expo Center, the campground is very pretty with large sites. It's Memorial Day Weekend and there are only three other RV's here! Fairgrounds are the best kept travel secret for RVers.
Today it has rained, so we have had a quiet day, done a shop at Safeway, bought some Copper River Salmon for tea - a bright red salmon, like the red salmon you get in John West's best red salmon tins. It was very tasty.

Good view of the Older bridge
Crossing the Tacoma Narrows bridge was a bit of a fulfillment for me, as stated on the last blog. Sally took some really good photos as we crossed over. What is not generally realised is that the other, older bridge built in 1950 actually uses the same bridge supports and footings as the original 'Galloping Gertie', but with a redesigned deck structure.
