    Photo of Mt. St Helen's Eruption

    Picked this up today at the thrift store for a couple dollars. This is a view from across the Columbia River, which is Rainier, Oregon. The bridge is located west of Mt. St. Helens.

    LEWIS AND CLARK BRIDGE(The Longview Bridge)
    "The Lewis and Clark Bridge is a cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River between Longview, Washington, and Rainier, Oregon. At the time of completion, it had the longest cantilever span in the United States."**

    "The bridge was opened on March 29, 1930, as a privately owned bridge named the Longview Bridge. The $5.8 million cost (equivalent to $72 million in 2019 dollars) was recovered by tolls, $1.00 for cars and $.10 for pedestrians (equivalent to $12.37 for cars and $1.24 for pedestrians in 2019 dollars). At the time it was the longest and highest cantilever bridge in the United States. The state of Washington purchased the bridge in 1947 and the tolls were removed in 1965 after the bridge was paid for. In 1980, the bridge was rededicated as the Lewis and Clark Bridge in honor of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The deck was replaced in 2003–04 at a cost of $29.2 million."**
