Great place to swim sometimes but I have seen it with some scary white tweaker trash on some weekends. Lots of trash down there now with the easier access. Fun swimming through those things.

The Ahwahnee Bridge in Yosemite Valley is one of several historic bridges that the National Park Service may demolish as part of its "Merced River Plan." Their plan is open for public comment until April 2013 and can be found at http://www.nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/mrp-deis-doc.htm
Removal of this or other bridges will significantly impact access for visitors to Yosemite and adversely effect the historic character of the valley landscape. They also plan to remove the famous Ice Rink, which is hardly next to the river, but deemed incompatible with recreational values there. Please comment on their short-sighted demolition plans.

Animal bridges are awesome!
In many cases, yes. In the case of the scores the enviros forced the Alaska
Pipeline to build, not so much. They were afraid the pipeline, standing
high above the tundra, would scare the caribou and change their migration.
Right, like that woulda happened. Having worked up there I can assure you
the caribou absolutely love those 'bridges' to smithereens! The bulls will
get up on 'em to make sure some interloper isn't exercising his designs on
his wimmen. But no other self-repecting caribou is gonna waste calories
walking over the silly things. On warm and windless days the rest of the
'bou will be found standing in the shade provided by the pipe. The elevated
pipe also provides a bit of a venturi effect for any wind there is which
helps to keep the damn bugs off.
And did I mention that the only things 'bou are scared of are wolves?
When you go out to your truck in the morning you often have to shoo the
'bou away. Yeah, they're so afraid of people. Well, ok, unless you're
dressed like an Inuit hunter.

This thread is not "TRAD".
It's full of sport people.
TRAD people don't use bridges.
They swim across the water and have adventure.
Piranha, crocodiles, electric eels, poisonous snakes and man eating sharks help make adventure more fun.
What has America become just driving in air condition vehicle over the top of the adventure?
Just see ..... :-)

Many fond memories around that bridge, DMT!
Here's the bridge spanning Deception Pass (WA). Awesome kayaking spot:

The concrete flume is the Modesto Irrigation District's Main Diversion Canal crossing Dry Creek. At the other end is the diversion for their Lateral Canal #2.
The landowners (apparently) are uptight. Their sign has a police dog saying "Go ahead. Make my day!"
What, are they afraid someone's gonna come along and try to climb that wide thing? Or that short wide thing on the other side?
[I heard Royal got shut down on this baby, BITD.]
It's on the road from Hughson to Oakdale.
