Visiting Washington and 145th St. Bridges

Washington Bridge was another bridge I was pretty sure I'd been to, but I couldn't prove it. (Eventually, I did dig up an Instagram post proving I was there three years ago.) And I knew for sure that the 145th St. Bridge was the final Manhattan-Bronx bridge I hadn't yet visited. So I headed uptown to see them both.

Washington Bridge is more interesting from below than from on it; it needs some TLC. You can get some nice views from it, particularly to the north. 

145th St. Bridge is kind of cute.

Woodlawn Cemetery

Despite its location right next to Van Cortlandt Park, I'd never been to Woodlawn Cemetery. It's actually quite a walk from the 1 train, which is how I get up there. But at our most recent Trails Crew day, we were working on the east side of the park, so I took advantage of this to tack on a visit to the cemetery.

I only saw a small part of it. Add up long walks at both ends of the train ride, plus a day of trail work, and I only had so much energy for exploring what is a very large area.

But it's impressive. Do you like tombs? They have tombs. Also gravestones, monuments, and a nice little lake.
