The Wooden Bridge and Machete Man

I thought I had posted this a couple weeks back but………the internet must have screwed up again……  This is a good one!

The Kiskatinaw River Bridge is the only original timber bridge built along the Alaska Highway that is still in use today. It curves 531 feet long as it crosses the river on the old highway.

Near Dawson Creek, Alberta Canada

Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about the Machete Man. We were taking Jaxon for a walk below the bridge. Dee saw a guy strap a big “knife” on his back and asked him what it was for. He said it was to cut a path when he was hiking in the bush. Now that is a real man! He then strapped on an impressive day pack and climbed aboard his mountain bike, ready to hit the back country.

About then his wife/girl friend/whatever climbed out of the pickup with their little dog. You can see what she was wearing. Obviously, with Machete Man in the lead, she didn’t need much else. And off they went into the bush.
