Built in 1880 and served as an active railroad bridge until 1992. Converted to a pedestrian bridge in 2015 and then main supports rebuilt in the last year or so.https://volumeone.org/articles/2022/03/16/293021-hit-the-trail-again-ecs-high-bridge-reopens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand In nearby Chippewa Falls outside of Eau Claire is the Leinenkugel Brewery. Could do tour or just sit in their bar/ gift shop area and drink. If you golf Wild Ridge GC pretty stout challenge.

Albedo effect contributed to feedback loops that perpetuated ice ages, so you get the benefit of more solar reflection vs absorption, and less carbon being used to cool in warm months. Balance that with loss of solar assistance in winter heating though. As well, wonder what the difference in UHI effect is between an asphalt/seal coated road / parking lot and a lighter colored concrete surface. Instinct says those two things (no more asphalt, light colored roofs) could make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
