This pigeon stopped in town and made several new friends. John Tupman said he believes the visiting pigeon saw the "Columbia city limits" sign and didn't realize it was Columbia, Kentucky and not his home - Columbia, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore. Carrie, who works at Community Medical Services, holds Carrie the pigeon for a quick photo before going east. Both Carries came here from MD. Comments | Permalink

Robert writes, "With the Falls behind us, and continuing on towards the Oregon coast, we stopped along this river drive to take some more pics. We were fortunate to be at the right place, at the right time as the Sun was starting to blaze through the fog and light rain, revealing these beautiful rock formations."
