Mellow Yellow Monday/Natural Bridges Monument

Well there are several Bridges. But the hiker i am not, specially when it comes to high places i was too chicken to find them. This one is one you could see from the observation deck so that is why your getting a photo of it.


Owachomo Bridge

Owachomo is the smallest and thinnest of the three natural bridges here and is commonly thought to be the oldest. We may never know for certain, as each of the bridges certainly have eroded at different rates. Regardless of its relative age, it is certainly the most fragile and elegant of the three spans, and an awe inspiring feature of erosion.

History

Owachomo means "rock mound" in Hopi and is named after the rock formation on top of the east end of the bridge. Before William Douglas gave it this name in 1908, it was called "Edwin" or "Little" bridge. Prior to that, it was referred to as "Congressman" by miner and explorer Cass Hite.

Early in the Monument's development, a dirt road led to Owachomo bridge from the south. It ended at the campground and ranger station directly southwest of the bridge. There were no other roads, and visitors seeking the other two bridges hiked or rode horses through the rugged canyons, often guided by the first "custodian" of the National Monument, Ezekial "Zeke" Johnson. Today, remnants of "Zeke's trail", now on the National Register of Historic Places, can still be seen just across the canyon below Owachomo.

And here is the Bridge i took

Mellow Yellow Monday/Elko Nevada

Day 3 Elko Nevada
Not much to see on the way to Elko but did find these tunnels interesting.
I was surprised how this one turned out going through it, I like it.




I found this sort of weird as i think it was a barn at one time and i think they turned it into a house. Doesn't the background of the land look stark?

I liked the sign of this Casino with that huge bear.
