HELL GATE: RETURN TO THE RED EYED DEMON 9.27.2003
Can one truely call this a mission? Yes,
we went under the cover of darkness to return to
the very core of Hell's Gate, but there was another, more pressing
objective in mind. For when two explorers meet due entirely to a shared
interest in this mythical bridge and over time fall in love, where
better for explorer guy to ask for explorer girl's hand in marriage?
There, high above all? The story will be told and repeated elsewhere,
but we know what most of you want to see here: the photos from this
post midnight mating ritual. |

Come on up the stairs, in the huge stone tower.
...where you shouldn't look down (yes, that is a ladder, way the fuck
down there in this huge enclosed room) 
Way the fuck up, above the arches. 
To the track level, where the acela's scream past as fast as they
can.
The Approach... A mass of steel and arched stone.
A castle tower worthy of an exploration prince and princess

Looking back and down on Astoria.

The writing on the wall...
|

Across the catwalks...

Up the spiral stairs...

Way the fuck up top, at the ghostly red eye...

Up over the top.

Off to the side...

Across the Grill, Looking south...
Etching in stone... forever after... |
