Vancouver Land Bridge
The land bridge is a real link connecting back to the Klickitat Trail, Lewis and Clark, and the development of the Northwest. It completes a circle that's been broken. - Johnpaul Jones


European and Native American cultures once converged at this Columbia River site, where the Hudson's Bay Company stood as the first European trading post in the Pacific Northwest. Lewis and Clark camped here, and Fort Vancouver was built here 20 years later. Today, the site features an earth-covered pedestrian bridge that arcs over State Route 14, reconnecting historic Fort Vancouver with the Columbia River, which helped extend the fort's influence from Mexico to Alaska and across the Pacific Ocean.

Learn about the site's indigenous plants as you walk along the land bridge, which leads you up to a grand view of the river and the surrounding mountains. From the south, walk under the land bridge's Welcome Gate, designed by Native American artist Lillian Pitt. Two cedar canoe panels, each adorned with a cast-glass sculpture of a Chinook woman's face, evoke the site's role as a historic tribal crossroads as well as a point of contact between European and Native people.

Timeline
This 40-foot-wide, earth-covered pedestrian bridge, lined with indigenous plants and Native basket weavings, reconnects historic Fort Vancouver with the Columbia River waterfront, was dedicated August 23, 2008.  The event featured remarks by Maya Lin and the site architect, Johnpaul Jones, of Seattle.

Project Partners
Construction of the $12.25 million Vancouver Land Bridge project is a partnership of Confluence Project members, the National Park Service, the City of Vancouver and the Washington State Department of Commerce, and made possible through federal, state and private funding.

Spaghetti Junction Aug 30, 2016

Steve,

这 Mopac/Highway 183 的 Spaghetti 跟西直门立交的“炸酱面”看起来确实有点相似。 不过在我的印象中,在 rush-hour 期间,那里的车流量应该是这样的:

Yueyin,

Yes, indeed. The city's traffic is getting worse and worse each year. Not only that, nowadays evening rush-hour starts around 3:30pm, and lasts till only 7pm. Go figure!

The caption came with the photo; so I took their word for it that it was taken during morning rush-hour. You can see the morning sunlight coming from the far side of the photo; it must have been a morning when the traffic was flowing smoothly.

BTW, it took me a while to get oriented. One thing that helped was the direction of the morning sunlight; another was the missing off-ramp of southbound Mopac getting onto 183 North (heading towards Lakeline Mall). When you think about it, it's the only ramp that's missing.

Steve,

我原来还真没注意到那条 “missing off-ramp of southbound Mopac getting onto 183 North”。似乎从 southbound Mopac 转向 183 North,可以通过 Mopac Service Road 过渡到 Research Blvd. Service Road,再上 183 North。此外,还可以走 N. Capital Texas Highway 和 W. Braker Ln. 这两条捷径。说不定这就是没建这条 ramp 的原因。有关部门也许会在将来把这条 missing Spaghetti 给添上。

Yueyin,

You're entirely correct - take one or two exits off of southbound Mopac ahead of getting to that big interchange and stay on the service road, one can easily transition to 183 North. It really doesn't matter if that redundant strand of spaghetti is there or not.

这个标题不符合实际情况。我认为,美国女子体操如此强盛,是因为这项运动在美国十分普及,就如乒乓球在中国十分普及一样。在美国各地,有无数的体操学校。乔良的体操学校只不过是沧海一粟,当然,我并不否认乔良的贡献。奥斯汀也有许多这样的体操学校,其中有一家名为 National Elite Gymnastics。请注意,此校的墙上还挂着一面五星红旗。
http://neg-usa.com



此校也有一位教练原来是中国国家体操队的队员和教练。我还与她聊过一阵子。我还在体操房里见过她的两个女儿。我发现,还有很多原中国国家体操队的队员和教练也在美国各地的体操学校任教。

可能您说得对,毛线球要是散落开了,那真是"剪不断理还乱"。小时候最怕被妈妈抓住缠线团了。

“中国结”为什么是“中国”结?可能就是因为做中国人太“纠结”。有句成语叫“愁肠百结”。肠子转一百个弯儿,打一百个结,那一定是中国结了。宋人有句诗:“心似双丝网,中有千千结。” 也是我们中国人的写照。唉,……。
