Sadly, a bit of history goes up in flames....as a child I remember my family driving across this bridge.

They gave up those burns when newcomers called law enforcement to complain, she said. “They made it impossible” to run ranches as the ranchers saw fit, she said. “All those people from California and New York should have stayed in the city.”

Say it all right there!!!

Ranchers years ago would routinely burn out bottomland such as the stretch that burned out of control, Thomas said.

All too common a theme, I'm afraid.

Sad to see it go. I crossed that bridge on my first trip to Moab in ‘79, in my then-late-model Pontiac Sunbird. I saw on a map what seemed a cool back-road shortcut from I-70. There was no other traffic around at all, and when I rounded a corner and saw this wood plank bridge crossing the Colorado River, I got out and walked it first to see if it was safe (I needn't have worried). But the canyon beyond it into Moab was amazing.

Now I take an annual pilgrimage to Moab, and have always gotten out and walked the Dewey after crossing the new highway bridge. I've always thrown a fiver into the donation can there, too.

A late hit, I know, but where are the pics?

“We found ourselves wishing it could be rebuilt but feeling in our hearts that there’s no way,” she said. “Of course, I wouldn’t fight if anybody wanted to rebuild it.”

Rebuild the bridge; spare no expense, and let Brown and Cuomo split the bill.
