Always wondering what's going to be around that next corner!
A look off to the side shows the road ahead
We are down to water level now.
What's that up ahead?
Damn! It's the Roosevelt Dam!
The first stone was laid in place in September 1906. It took 5 years to build. The blocks of stone were carved out of the Canyon Walls. It was finished in February 1911 and was the largest stone dam in the world.
The Bridge built from 1987-1990 to relocate traffic off the top of Roosevelt Dam. It was named one of the top 12 bridges in the Nation. The road on the bridge is arched because if they had made it level, drivers would have the perception that it was sagging, not a good sensation at 150 feet over water.
Only a 45 mile drive but at 15 mph it took most of the day, time to head back
As I said, its a long and winding road!
Thought you might like to experience a bit of it! Imagine doing this in an RV
Till Later,
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
