That really is a scary bridge. Even in broad daylight.

On the way down last week, I was going north on I77 when I saw signs that warned of trouble after the East River Mountain tunnel. So I got off in Bastian and took old route 52 across the mountain. I hadn't been that way in 40 years and it damn near scared me to death. There are places with no guardrail and a 2000 foot drop.

I found out later that a massive rock slide had shut down I77 between Bluefield and Princeton. Last I heard, it was still shut down.

Ole' Duke loves ridin' me motorcycle on old route 52. I try to ride it once or twice a year. It relaxes me.

Best regards,
Duke (keepin' it between the lines) Jupiter

And to the other topic of conversation, the Harry Nice Bridge.  You get a nice view of this bridge sometimes flying into DCA.

(You can dismiss the bubble in the middle by clicking the X in the upper right hand corner after it appears)  :biggrin:

Here's a clip of the rockslide taken by a cell phone camera by someone who was there.

We get the rain they are predicting for Sat / Sun and we'll have areas around here doing that. In fact, if we had any hills around these parts they'd already be doing that!  :spooked:

For anyone who doesn't understand the Mothman reference, just ask and we'll be glad to explain it.   :big grin:

They'd really love this one at night.  http://www.cbbt.com/facts.html  I was extremely glad to reach the other side of this and was also glad we weren't going to have to cross it again.
