Capture California, the Game-2013
Adventure: 009, Bridge
14-Stoneman Bridge
Team: YOLT
Date: October 30, 2013
Location:
Yosemite Valley
 |
| View From Stoneman Bridge |
Description:
On this cool, frosty October morning, we walk across Stoneman Bridge. This is one bridge Gary wanted to walk across. Why you might ask? First it is one of the historic bridges of Yosemite Valley-built in 1933. But more just because of the bridge's name, Stoneman. It seems so appropriate, all the stone work done on it seems so fitting. Besides, the view is good. As a note, we were note able to determine the source of the name Stoneman. Could it be for George Stoneman, the Governor of California? The one referred to in the song, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down where it refers to Stoneman tore up the tracks again?
