Yesterday we stopped at Grass Roots BMW.
Nice shop a block from the Mississippi River.

Took 72 and 19 to Cuba Mo.
Heavy rain on 72. It was warm, we could see and the road did not feel slick so we still enjoyed it.
West of Cuba on 66

The Lobato Bridge

November 1, 2012 by Editor
The Lobato (Costilla Crossing) Bridge is the southernmost bridge over the Rio Grande River in Colorado. It sits on County Road G between Antonito and Jaroso, Colorado and was originally constructed in 1892 by Joseph F. Thomas. He was a civil engineer and the Conejos County Surveyor and lived in Manassa, Co.. The bridge was purchased from the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio for the sum of $8,400. The bridge parts were shipped to Colorado by train and assembled on location.

Thomas received a commendation from the Colorado State Legislature for completing the construction ahead of schedule and under budget. At the time it was the longest, highest, double-span steel-truss bridge west of the Mississippi River.

Also known as the Old State Bridge, it has been listed on the National Registry of Historic Structures since 1985. The bridge stretches 313.9 feet long with a deck width of 15.7 feet.

The Wrought Iron Bridge Company was eventually consolidated by J.P. Morgan, the American corporate financier, into the American Bridge Company in 1900.

With the help of grants, the bridge was rehabilitated and rededicated in 2006. The Lobato Bridge is the oldest vehicular truss in southern Colorado.

North of Klamath Falls OR on US 97. The logging museum status unknown to me.
 
Fog was finally easing... here at least after two hours of limited views headed north on PCH. The pullout was blocked with construction
