Viaduct on foot

Back from RFTC. Intermittent sun, good crowd. But walking on The Viaduct now feels the way it felt to attend baseball games in The Kingdome in 1999 … end-of-an-era’ish. Here for posterity is the cobblestone/aggregate viaduct surface underfoot:

A few more pix (with people in them!) after the click:

Hard to capture, but both of these photos have the sea of walkers in the background — it never seems crowded right where you are, but on the approaches (against what would be the normal direction of traffic, both ways) northbound and southbound, looking ahead, the road looks like a sea of people:

And of course, one obligatory shot of the viaduct’s underside. viaductlowerdeck.jpg

    Nice turn out from what I can see in the pictures. How many participants were there?
