SATURDAY 10th.
I got away from the house by 6:45
and my first stop was Bridge of the Gods. I was told by the toll taker that the
bridge was open to walkers but the cost was 50 cents. I like to walk across
bridges so I took her up on the offer. The bridge is made of the steel
structure that you can see through quite easily if you look down. I didn’t. I
walked half way and took some pictures but I had to be careful because there is
no pedestrian walkway. I was in competition with the traffic. The nice part of
that is that the speed limit is only 15 miles per hour. I did take a picture
looking down through the mesh at the RR tracks about 50 feet below me. I was
thinking of posting pictures this evening but I discovered that I had forgotten
my camera/computer connection. I phoned Caren and asked her if there was a
Kodak Dealer in Boise but it turns out none exist. She did tell me about a
Kodak repair rep in town and I found his office but he had gone home. No
pictures will be posted until I find a way to do it. I will be in Colorado
Springs on Monday morning so I will start the search again. Saturday night was
spent at a rest stop near Exit 129 on I84 in Idaho; the temperature was 95 at
sundown.
SUNDAY 11th…..10AM. . . .I was driving down the
highway in Southern Idaho when I suddenly decided to stop at the next Rest Stop
and examine my Laptop for a possible SD port. Bless my Soul! I found one! I
then downloaded all the pictures in the camera to the laptop. Then, before
continuing on my way I recorded this little note. My plan is to add pictures
and post the whole thing on the blog. Wish me luck! When I left home I thought
that Pikes Peak at the end of two days was a cinch. Tonight I am in Vernal,
Utah with a long way to go. I was doing too much pokey exploring to keep
any kind of schedule. When I got to the Motel I started in on the pictures,
hoping to post some tonight. The results are as follows. I will mention that
while posting this we [Vernal] enjoyed a warm and wet thunderstorm. Noisy too!
This is what the bridge is made of, my left foot is trembling with fear as I look down at the RR tracks below.
