January 26, 2009 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: McPhaul Swinging Bridge, Yuma, Yuma County, Arizona The McPhaul Swinging Bridge AKA Bridge to Nowhere is located on the west side of Highway 95 about 18 miles north of Yuma, Yuma County, Arizona   Vi er flygtet fra regnen, og er i Yuma, Arizona, i dag. Vi havde nogle ærinder i byen, men vi fik da også tid til at se os lidt omkring. Vi kørte lidt udenfor byen, hvor vi først fandt en gammel hængebro, bygget i 1929. Da den blev bygget gik den over Gila River, men denne blev senere omlagt ved en opdæmning i 1968, og i dag ligger den knap 250 meter lange bro midt i ørkenen og krydser ikke over andet end sand og buskads. We've fled the rain and are in Yuma, Arizona, today. We had some errands in town, but found time to look around a bit too. We drove outside of town, and the first thing we found was an old suspension bridge, built in 1929. Originally it crossed the Gila River, but that was later diverted when a dam was built in 1968, and today the 800-foot bridge is in the middle of the desert and crosses nothing but sand and chaparral.
