Bridge to, uh, where?

Rode the Ulysses across the Pontchartrain Causeway this morning. Pretty neat. I rode it North to South. (Good thing because the 20 kt wind was quartering at my left shoulder.) Anyway, I stopped at the last crossover before New Orleans and snapped a few pics. I got as many as I could before the bridge cops showed up and informed me that I was not allowed to take any pictures. I swore that I had just gotten there and hadn't shot anything. Then I wheelied it out of there pronto. Pretty cool ride overall. You could see several of the sections that were floated away during the hurricane. What amazed me is the fact that the bridge is about 20 feet above the lake surface. That was a FREAKIN' LOT of water that floated these 40' concrete bridge sections away.

That's why Aunt Alice would not go over the bridge. . . too much water too close! Looks like you had beautiful weather. Glad you got to show us some of those pictures that you didn't take!
