On our recent Pennsylvania vacation, Terry and I decided to explore Harrisburg a bit.
The first thing we did was take a paddle boat tour on the Susquehanna River.
Terry was fascinated by the paddles that drive the boat, how one or the other slow down to make the boat turn...
I admired the beautiful bridges.
We were told that the river floods from time to time...
One year it almost covered this pedestrian foot bridge...
A marker shows how high the water level reached!
Later we wandered around nearby historic downtown Harrisburg...
... admiring some of its beautiful old buildings.
Then we went to a baseball game...
... where I came across this large photo on the wall behind two water fountains: an aerial view of the baseball diamond the year it flooded!
