Flood Action Shots

A hiker friend tipped us off to some interesting shots of Suiattle River flood action available at this NWHikers.net message board thread. This map details the location of the washouts where the pictures were taken. Our friend says: "The pictures are in the middle of the web page, they open to a nice viewing size. Some of the pictures that look like boring river pictures are actually where the road should be. Amazing. The Boundry Bridge photos are of a bridge that was blown out a few years ago and is one of the upper left bridges of the map."

One of the NWHikers commentators posted:

The washouts begin about 2 miles after the Boundary Bridge. The River changed course under the Boundary Bridge again. Now it's back where it's supposed to be, so the bridge doesn't look quite as silly as it did before, jutting out and ending the middle of the River. Now it's at least jutting out above land; but it's still well beyond leaping distance to the road it used to connect to.
