Well, I thought I was walking to a footbridge. I did a little bit of research this week for today's walk on a new town that I'm currently working in. There were a few prairies and wildflower walks near the town, but I was short on time and needed to cram one in to also grab lunch. A bit of research mentioned a footbridge that went over a waterway known as Beaver Creek. Excited for a new share, I headed out from my new workplace to check it out.

After finding a parking spot near its location according to the Google Machine, I walked to the river to scout for the bridge. No luck. After taking a few photos above, I noticed a concrete rupture across the creek.

Uh oh...that doesn't look promising. I then walked over to an area directly across from the ruin above to see what was going on. It appears that I was a few too many years late to traverse the famous historic footbridge over Beaver Creek.

Oh yes, in typical fashion, especially on my 45th birthday on the first week of a new job, I would run into this. Harbinger, anyone????

Yet not was all lost; the area had some beautiful views of the neighboring bluffs:

And of course some wildflowers:

Yet another Wednesday Walk in the books. It felt good to get outside today; with all the uncertainty I'm feeling (and being another year older), it was good to check out a new place and take some photos. For me, anyway...

Thanks for checking out my post. I hope you too had a wonderful Wednesday!
