Before we begin our bridge update, have a look at view as of Saturday, October 15. The fall color is a little slow to appear this year. If you have the patience to follow this posting all the way to the end, you will be rewarded with 2 more scenery views. (or just scroll on ahead if you simply cannot control yourself!)
All four stringers are in place. Here you can see them from either end. It is fun to walk across the creek on the bridge. Not that i would know or would even dream of crawling under the bright pink caution tape. I did witness one knitter walk across the creek on an I-beam. Yes, I said, “knitter”. She is reported to have completed 5 stitches while crossing the creek.
Remember the blog entry about the cracked and drooping abutment? Here it is again, to reinforce the understanding that a new bridge was in order.
Michael, my husband who drives big yellow machines and wears green pants and a marshmallow head hardhat during the work week, is much more comfortable in his regular clothes and straw hat. Nevertheless, he is always ready to explain the work project, regardless of his attire. Here he is with our cabin friend, Glen. (Glen is the one who takes care of the Mineral King webcam.)
Thank you for your attention to the current lesson on bridge building. Here is your reward:

Diane, nice idea about a ribbon cutting. Maybe we could do something around Memorial weekend when the road opens. . .?
Cheryl, I really thought I had subscribed. I’ll try again and maybe this time will be able to push all the right buttons in the right order! And if you can arrange a trip to the mts. in the fall, it will be worth all the efforts to get there. It is slightly melancholy, and an entirely new type of beautiful.
Paso Andy, thank you for enjoying my blog. I’m having more fun with it than a human being should be allowed!
Thank you for your wonderful blog! We appreciate the updates and the work you put into them!
What gorgeous views you have there! I’ve never been to the mountains in the fall. Bet it’s beautiful.
Fyi — I’m doing a Life Notes Subscriber Appreciation Giveaway for my free quarterly newsletter/ezine over on my blog now. You asked about it once, but I don’t think you’re on my list. Now is a great time to sign up if you’re so inclined! 🙂
Michael – save the ‘caution caution caution’ tape for such a possible event!
Sharon – I bet you could!
I like Diane’s idea! Too bad there won’t be many around to participate. Maybe something could be done “officially” in the spring?
Oh, and I bet a crocheter could do more than 5 single crochet stitched. IF, that is, the crocheter were willing to cross the caution caution caution tape.
… will there be a ribbon cutting ceremony?
