Jan. 23 -The Bridge to Nowhere
We moved our campsite back to the Yuma area and stopped at a u-pick farm stand on the way. It is located at “the bridge to nowhere”, the original McPhaul Bridge over the Gila River on highway 95 in Arizona. The highway was rerouted and the bridge stands, decaying, over the trickle of the river. Ironically the ‘new’ bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1993, while the abandoned old bridge withstood the waters!
Built in 1929 it was abandoned in 1968 when the road was rerouted.
Robert's keen eye spotted this huge beehive in the ironwork of one of the towers.
