Bahia Honda

We were able to complete the chores we had to do and make it to the bus stop in time for a quick trip to Bahia Honda State Park.  It is a camper's destination for sure plus it has an historic stretch of the original railroad bridge that was the precursor to Hwy 1 completed around 1912.  We were able to take our bikes with us so besides walking all the trails, we were able to see most of the park.  A nice day made nicer by a sack lunch with an ice cream cone finish!

The bus let us off on the opposite side of the road from the park.  This path took us under Hwy 1 rather than across 4 lanes of traffic.  It gave us a different perspective on the new bridge.  It is so close, they instruct riders to walk instead of
ride their bikes and risk a head injury.

Some talented person or persons decorated the water pipe under the north bound lanes.

The water between the old and the new bridges.

A bit of hisory.

I thought this was a cool shot down the length of the old girders.

That is old concrete and old supports.  Several have been banded and wrapped in vinyl to delay
their ultimate wearing away.

This old pipe isn't going to carry water anymore!
