The Dalles Chronicle July 11,2004 page A9 [Text Only] This was the front page picture for the April 20, 1966 edition of The Chronicle. The caption read: "New fill over Badger Creek on Chenowith Road was rising rapidly this week, with its center about the location of the scraper. Right hand margin is shown by stakes. After the fill is completed, perhaps by the end of this week, the bridge will be torn down, said Wasco County Road Supervisor C.D. {Cotton) Light." The bridge was located at the foot of Sevenmile Road, and Badger Creek was one of the many that flooded during the Christmas holiday of 1964. The photo was taken less than four months after the flood. Russ Brown knew the answer, and suggested that the worker visible on the Cat [Caterpiller tractor] might be Albert Elton of Elton Construction. Dave Cartwright said he used to play under the bridge before it was filled in. Bob Sallee mentioned this bridge originally was across the Deschutes River at Maupin [Oregon].
