i was wondering if someone could post a picture, screen shot? of :
1-Pohnpei, Micronesia

2- the foresthill bridge, its just out of Auburn cal, KAUN , the bridge is off the end of 07 at KAUN, across I-80, in the confluence of the 2 rivers, middle and north forks of the American river, the south fork is where Mr Marshal found the gold in in the tail race for the small mill he was building for Sutter in 1848, then the gold rush began sometime in 1849(i cant explain why i do all of that, but i think its a mental health issue?
just upstream from the bridge is Lake Clementine, its got one of those dams where the water flows over the top of the dam, its not a hydro-electric dam, it was built to catch the mud etc that was coming down stream from several hydrolic mining operations farther up the north fork. saw a pic in the newspaper before i moved to the boat in stockton,where a water agency employee was walking on the mud built up behind the dam, its pretty much filled up, and there was talk of them (i dont know who would be responsible for it, i dont even know why a PCWA employee was out there, i dont know if they even use the water from there, i suppose so somewhere

3- Price UT, KPUC, Carbon County-Price Regional Airport. theres a really nice little bullring race track the other side of the road from the airport.id like to see if it shows in the sim, i told a guy who was here at my home tonight that the race track is shown in 2024, then i added, i think?
 
well, no matter, im still without 2024, banking screw up, fines, late fee's and so on blow through a $600 overdraft loan in one week.so now it will be another 6 months at least
 
thank you very much Thomas, i really appreciate it, i wanted that Pohnpei as a friend of mine who is now in NY grew up about a mile from that airport. And it does my heart good to see the foresthill bridge actually there but i see the road is still in the bottom, would it be to much to go over the confluence and see if all 3 bridges down at the river in the bottom of the canyon are there, theres a straight bridge for SR 49 to Cool and Placerville, a curved bridge on the same river as the big bridge, that is the old foresthill road. and the the mountain quarries railroad bridge , known by its nickname as no hands, friend of my mom and dads, mine to i supposed since i did a lot of water management for her on her ranch.She was afraid of heights as i am lol, there is horse riding endurance ride/race from Squaw Valley resort (1960? or 62? winter Olympics were held tbhere, to auburn ca, 100 miles, in 24 hrs, many people can do it under the 24 now due to trail improvements, since the trail goes through two national forests and two counties, and los angeles types moved to the area and they wanted improvements everywhere,used to be only a few, like 2 or three that did it in under 24hrs. i shouldnt complain but i bought my boat when mom had died due to the influx of snooty types. back to ina robinson, she competed in the tevis cup every year since it began, but her fear made her get off the horse and walk across, there were no handrails or anything, and with all the floods in the river once the auburn upstream coffer dam was built, the tunnel routing the river through the mountain would glog up, to make the river bed dry to build the auburn dam, never built due to faults and possible earthquake dangers, the thing was going to be something like 600 feet high, was going to be taller than oroville which is the highest dam in the usa, that might be tallest earthen dam, not sure, but this was being hailed as the tallest in the usa. that much i remember.. oh my god, ive done it again.. once they replaced the rock that got washed away from the railroad bridge, the rock was deep as well, but ina road her horse over it one day in practice for the tevis cup and she put her hands in the air and yelled "look no hands" so thats why its called no hands now.
i know it bugs some people when i do that but apparently im on the autism spectrum. so i tend to over explain things, which im doin now,, byeeee
