Heavy reading at Laurel Hill Cemetery

*****************

This panel, with wires exposed, may have been open for quite some time. It's located at North 5th Street and Avenue F.

Despite the label, UGI said it wasn't theirs. So did PPL.

There was an open padlock hanging on the side.

Thanks to Chief Ryno the issue got resolved.

It's spring, and flowers are in bloom.

Members of the Game Commission maintained a falcon watch this week.

According to a spokesman, they were concerned that the bridge inspectors might disturb the nest. Apparently, the parent was "on the eggs."

Here are the inspectors on the Columbia end of the bridge.

Also on the bridge, USGS was checking the river water, as it does periodically.

Here are some of the instruments used, including the fish-shaped vessel for collecting water.

This debris got stuck a short distance down from the bridge.

Easter is still hanging on along Route 441.
