I suppose the money is made in the shipping charges. Do I sell them and do nothing fabulous with the cash, or do I put them back in the box, wait for the day we have a larger house & garage, then fix them up and display them in my garage?

Have a great weekend if I don't get back here.
I would just keep them as a family heirloom. I have some real old ones in the attic.

Good Evening Arizona. Bill you won't catch me ever driving on that bridge. Most people from Kingman & Bullhead feel as I do. I'll be amazed if it remains standing after a few good wind storms. The first ALL concrete arch of that size ever built on a bridge. No thanks.

Good Mid day Sunday Bill. We have a nice cool down today. The high is suppose to be in the 80s. Not that we have been hot but in the mid 90s, so the 80s feel cool.

I did not know that, I hear that they plan to shutdown the Arizona side of the dam after the bridge is up. I wonder why?

I had not heard that. I imagine they will want traffic to be diverted from the dam because of all the terrorists in Arizona, that have been walking across the border for years.
All I know is that many of the people I talked with when I lived in Kingman, said they would travel 95 through Searchlight to Las Vegas. With all the trouble that has been involved with the concrete & wind I'm not going to drive it. That bridge is 5+ years behind schedule & counting, because of PROBLEMS with concrete & the last was the wind took down the guide wires for the overhead cranes.
But anyway Nice pictures Bill. When it opens if it does, send us some more on your drive across. Ha Ha.
