Nick Sine sent me this, when he sent me notice that Rock Knocker’s former teacher/climbing boss and geologist for Caltrans passed on last week. He is featured in a few segments of the documentary. It is a wonderful documentary with old footage of building the road from Mexico to Canada. Of course the Coast Road in Central California is featured prominently. I must admit, I stopped watching at SF, so I can’t speak to the rest of it, but I sure loved Mexico to SF. It is a beautiful piece I had never seen before, and so I will share it with the rest of you, here. Enjoy, as I did. Thanks, Nick.
Absolutely fascinating! Worth watching, even if you aren’t an engineering geek.
Oh those beautiful Big Sur arched bridges and their graceful arched railings that complement them … and to think these rails may be demolished and replaced with walls of concrete or new modern metal railings if Caltrans has their way … Just say NO to modernizing the Historic Big Sur bridge rails and YES to replacing them with their original design!!!
