Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of an arch bridge carrying U.S. Route 199 over the Smith River. A fence beam stretches from the foreground at left and towards the background. Beyond it, road signs stand in front of a bridge, left-of-center. The signs read, "SMITH RIVER CALIFORNIA STATE AUTOMOBILE ASS'N. BRIDGE 115," and "CALIFORNIA U S 199." Beyond the sign, an arch bridge carries U. S. 199 over the Smith River at an angle from left to right. Arched parapets line the roadside. Beneath the road, the bridge's supporting arch straddles Smith River. On the far side of the bridge, pines stand in the background. Text from negative sleeve: 1619. Yellowstone trip, 1942. Thursday, July 2, 1942. 1. Oregon Caves. Mertie West feeding the chipmunks. 2. H.H.West feeding chipmunks. Left my hat at the lunch room at Cave Junction and was told to get a cap to wear in the caves so as to protect my head from water and bumps of low hanging rocks. Got a souvenir cap at the entrance. 3. Visitors drinking at the water fountain at the entrance. 4. Smith River. Father mentions it. 5. A big redwood stump at Crescent City cut for auto to go thru. I run my Buick in and take a picture of it. 5 films. [Note: In all instances of the year date, 1942, the last digit (2) is handwritten over a typed 3.]
