Reminds me of Stone Henge for some reason...  I better get a store opened up soon...  I'll end up finishing the layout and have nothing to do!

That's lookin' SEXXXAY! My thoughts would be a single track portal well ahead of the switch that leads underneath Cumberland and choosing more evenly spaced piers. The two shorties on the right end look visually awkward being so close. You'd either shorten the benchwork on the left, or lengthen the benchwork on the right a little bit.

Hah.  You didn't think I would!


It's all just mocked up to make sure it fits.  It still looks too tall to my eye, but I can't do much about the topography now...  Don't worry, some tall trees below the bridge will do the trick.





I shot these right after dinner.  I would have posted sooner, but It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World was on, and I got to watch Andy enjoy it all the way through for the first time.  He especially liked the bit where Jonathan Winters wipes out the gas station, and the airplane ride with Mickey Rooney and Buddy Hackett.

Thats
the best movie that you can really check the girlfriend compatibility factor.  When Jimmy Durante kicks the bucket, if she doesen't get it, she's definately not a keeper...

Ka-ching.


Yeah, that's the money shot, but this one is the one that'll keep visitors' feet glued to the floor. Look: Casselman's Crossing and the new Stonehenge bridge in one shot:

Let's see who can eyeball it closest. I'll wager it's about 85'.
