Last month I wrote something about the barbed wire fence along the Albany Santiam Canal north of Queen Avenue. The bike took me by there again last week for another look.

Three months ago, I looked at this mess of barbed wire on the Albany-Santiam Canal along with Jim Ketter, who had asked the city to remove it. Now Jim is gone, but the wire is still there.
