From the NPS:
North Cascades National Park maintenance crews, with the assistance of two local construction companies, successfully installed a new bridge on the Cascade River Road over the North Fork of the Cascade River. The construction of the new bridge was a challenge due to the remote location and narrowness of the road. It was not possible to navigate the two 85-foot sections of the bridge which were manufactured by Big R Manufacturing of Greeley, Colorado via truck and trailer around the tight corners.
The Tacoma Astronomical Society is holding a free public night star party Saturday night.
The 9 p.m. event begins with a presentation on using binoculars for star gazing by John Finnan in Room 202 of the Olympic Building at Pierce College’s Fort Steilacoom campus. If the weather allows, members will set up telescopes to view the night sky.
Click here for more information and a calendar of upcoming events.
If you can’t make that event, check out the sky around 9 p.m. Sunday when a crescent moon will be close to Mercury and the Pleiades.
The moon will be about four moon-widths above the Pleiades star cluster and Mercury will be six moon-widths below the cluster. The moon’s dark portion will be clearly visible, illuminated by sunlight reflected from Earth, known as earthshine. Binoculars will provide the best view.
