Kate Shelley Bridge

We drove 20 minutes west of Gilbert to Boone, to visit the Kate Shelley bridge. It was a little bit of a fiasco because there are only two ways to get to it, and the one we chose was closed right before the bridge. So we had to drive all the way around (like 15 minutes) to the other road. But it was beautiful, and we were glad we took the time to go see it.

You can see how high the train tracks are, crossing over this great ravine and the river. The old bridge is in the foreground, and the new bridge behind it.

 Old, rickety bridge and new, concrete bridge.

 Up close and personal.

Here's the wiki page on the bridge itself, and here is the story of why it is named after Kate Shelley. She's a pretty awesome feminist, if I do say so myself.
