all in all it is very impressive. I cant see where the coves are but with all that weight I guess they are squashed into the coves.

If it fell over I wouldn't like to pick up all those sticks.

Methinks I do see some notching just left of bottom center before the structure goes to span the chasm.

I have heard of this type of Trestle building in area's in the early years of logging in the Northwest, they would build a quick temporary trestle to bridge a short steep ravine. This way the timber that was used for the trestle could be salvaged and sent to the mill, as it was still good for lumber!

There is an old log cabin from the mining days, right around 150 years old, a couple of canyons over from me. It's a cool little restaurant now. We like to joke about how the log cabin is so old that it's "more chinking than log". It's a good analogy, and it's so much chinking now that it almost doesn't even look like a log cabin.

"extra mildness, extra coolness" Don't get to see so many of that type of advertising anymore

In regard to the steam tractor photo. What fuel did they use? Coal or wood? I enlarged the full size image and I think I see a coal shovel, but only a small bin that MIGHT contain coal. Or perhaps there is some firewood behind the right side drive wheel.

Just curious, sure is an impressive machine.
