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...

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. I've rented a pontoon boat on Lake Wissota if you like boating. Target field is nice went to a bar downtown Minneapolis called Brits Pub. Has cool criquet lawn with seating to drink on the roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we usually get teased with a quick curve and miss just southeast, but have been nailed a few times in the past. I'm def fiending for an all day steady rain, like what's going on in southern IA today. Guess that means I'm about ready for Fall lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyweather Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Vinyl siding will be deemed unacceptable by building codes, as it shall melt in the sweltering summer heat.Getting into dangerously OT territory, and a bit of a derail, but I’ve always wondered why don’t building codes require white or close to white roofs? 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...

While the road is cooler, they say people and cars nearby bake from all the extra heat being radiated back instead of absorbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
