Dingus,
you think graffiti is cool?? : (
i guess i am still stuck on the disrespect of property by those that do not own it..
or that the north hollywood boys cleaned out my climbing shop so they could access bridges to put graffiti on them, who knows maybe stolen gear assisted to produce your subject...

Tuolumne River, close to Groveland.[Click to View YouTube Video]
Lumsden's a good spot to fish or play with your drone, or whatever.

Hey, homeboy. Your memories call forth the ghost of Bobby, Tony Manero's buddy in SNF.

I grew up in Arden Park, so we didn't play around on that bridge, but I crossed it lots in the fifties. The old cement Watt Ave. bridge on the American - one end was an Indian burial ground which we raided many times for beads.
The willows hid inlets and hop barns were around to be explored on old wooden ladders and stairs. And the views of river bottom country in the burgeoning suburb of North SAC were better than I recall, I'm sure.

Are you like some homeless dood with a free gas card just driving around endlessly cataloging
every bridge in Cali? Keep up the gud werk, Exxon loves you! ;-)

There's an amazing used bookstore at the local mega-mall. It is so incongruous, but I'm not complaining! The wife scored a nice copy of Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu! Yes, in French for $9! After many months I finally got to meet the owner - really cool guy. He gets a lot of his books from retiring profs, which explains all the books in French. But I digress. Scored this gem the other day for a tenner! Eat yer heart out DMT!
Published in '63 and covers Washington, Oregon, and Cali!

Is the Knights Ferry Bridge in there?
DOOD!
My bad, taken in 1865 as the original was 8' lower and washed away in flood of 1862. The pictured one was built by Lewis Dent, brother-in-law of Ulysses Grant! The top-hatted gent in the pic is believed to be Dent. The book has a pic taken in 1962 from the same angle. Interestingly the landscape in the second is far more lush.
There are even pics of the one covered bridge in Nevada and Arizona!

I met a Chinese engineer guy while coming back to the US. He was coming over to study and visit US bridge and architectural failures. Interesting guy.
