Bass River Bridge, Cape Cod

Bass River Bridge is one of the Cape's more familiar landmarks.





Within sight of the bridge I've fished for flounder and striped bass, dragged for bay scollops and hauled eel pots. 


It was too cold and windy to smell the sun-warmed docks.




So far only the Yarmouth Police or Marine Fisheries were in the water.  Nothing south of the bridge either.




Familiar sights on the north side of the bridge.



Merrill Memorial Park, dedicated to a Vietnam Vet, was a surprise for me.  Taking up an acre (more?) sized area immediately northeast of the bridge, it had brushy foot paths, waterside trails, sunning benches, picnic sites, and boat docks- all of it tastefully done.  Nice! 




Views across, and up the river.
