lost rivers & the glen cedar bridge

i have been visiting this bridge since before my father moved into the neighbourhood, when i was eleven or so. west end elementary schools hold cross country meets in the ravine, which is how i first came upon it.

i went back tonight, as i often do when visiting my dad. he took the dog down into the valley while i explored the bridge itself. i lay face down on the walkway and peered between two planks into the ravine below. a perfectly rolled and completely dry spliff was caught on an iron beam under the face of the bridge.

maybe the cops showed up and the owner panicked, dropping it between the cracks?
