Here is another comical artifact of streaching a 2D picture into a 3D
view and
trying to sew different pictures together!!
fly to 38.92213 -121.03900
Notice the east side of the bridge,, it miss the road by about 50
feet!!!
Now fly a little south and tip to a horizontal view,,, ha!!!
BTW,, this was the bridge they used in the first XXX movie with Van
Diesel
It is about a half mile long and about 650 feet up from the stream!
