story and photo by Tom McKirgan

On Tuesday 12-30-08 shortly after noon, I took this picture of an abandoned

van parked facing the river at the county boat ramp on Fishtrap Road. The water came up to our doorstep but luckily did not get into our house. My wife Teresa and I live adjacent the parking lot. This is how we rang in the new year. They should change the name of the road to "People trap." I took the picture from our front porch.
