Ridiculous River Rats and Rapids

This old trestle is something I could walk over again and again. 

I could also just stand and watch the river run under it. Somewhere under the bridge the water changes from lazy to energetic. 

Normally I just drive over this bridge with all the other traffic and look longingly at the trestle. The view from the trestle includes creative artwork, and on this day I'm not sure what I was witnessing.

I don't even want to know how they got the rope around the pipe. Although I watched them for several minutes, I don't know the purpose of the board bouncing in the water. 

On the other hand, it makes complete sense once you see the sign warning that the river may rise unexpectedly. Plus there was the "River Closed" sign on the other side of the trestle. Of course a couple of young men will come up with some hair-brained idea; this is the perfect environment! 

These nice stairs lead down to the river, but you can't get to them from the trail. Well, I guess you could if you really wanted to badly enough. I suspect those two yay-hoos walked on the little path traveling under the trestle.

One last look before heading back to the parking lot.
