From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

Aberdeen, Washington is the hometown of Kurt Cobain and a worthwhile stop for any Nirvana fan. The Young Street Bridge spanning the Wishkah River was once a hangout for Cobain, and as a result it's now decked out in graffiti paying respects to him and the band. 

Mike and I visited this spot on a previous road trip, but we arrived after the sun had gone down. This time it was far easier to read the messages, and also surprising to see how many new ones had been added to the bridge. Places like this are inspiring because you see some really raw expressions of what the music and the man meant to so many individuals. It's a humble memorial to someone who made a huge impact.
