And none of you have mentioned the tendency of strong metal bits to break like glass in that temp range. I was in Dead Horse in the mid '70s and thought the sight of heavy machinery parts shattered by a small lurch or bump was totally fascinating...

Yes, that is part of a floating bridge. We dropped off 7 of them into the river. They would then be unfolded and hooked together in the water. This is one of the ends.

I used to live in the Bay and was stationed on an aircraft carrier based there, I miss fleet week. Watched the Blue Angels from a sail boat in the Bay once, was really cool.
