What's this?

I drove over the Idaho one in 1993.

Stayed in Twin Falls for a night and took a look at Shoshone Falls the next day.

Meet America's New National Park: New River Gorge -- EDGEMAN 01/06/2021 12:52PM

Here's my picture of the New River Bridge -- `lag 01/06/2021 3:53PM

LOL...that's the "old school" way north from Fayetteville... ** -- ShortFatHokie 01/06/2021 5:49PM

Yep, it used to take 40 minutes, switchbacking down one side of the New -- `lag 01/06/2021 6:06PM

That's a must see. ** -- IB4TECH 01/06/2021 4:30PM

ANother stamp for my NP book! ** -- UTPr0sim 01/06/2021 2:08PM

Is that Hawks Nest? Or is it where the bridge is? ** -- IB4TECH 01/06/2021 2:06PM

No, I think that's Grandview well south of the bridge ** -- `lag 01/07/2021 10:03AM

The shot looks like it is from Hawks Nest ** -- 133838Hokie 01/06/2021 11:19PM

It is the Gorge area -- Tailgate Guru 01/06/2021 2:59PM

Sadly, this will be the end of the quaint, uniqeuness of Fayetteville... -- ShortFatHokie 01/06/2021 1:59PM

I'm with you, thinking oh chrap. not good ** -- `lag 01/06/2021 3:58PM

Maybe some vape shops and porn stores ** -- bigbadbird 01/06/2021 2:05PM

How is this any different from the existing New River Gorge National River? ** -- ShockWaveVT 01/06/2021 1:16PM

Same area; different use restrictions ** -- Tailgate Guru 01/06/2021 3:00PM

Can you elaborate? -- ShockWaveVT 01/06/2021 8:22PM

BASE jumping still allowed on Bridge Day. -- Hokie360 01/06/2021 1:16PM

Almost became the record construction failure -- TomTurkey 01/06/2021 2:44PM

I heard there are only 2 bridges in the US that allow it -- Roanokie 01/06/2021 1:45PM

I drove over the Idaho one in 1993. -- Merlin Hokie 01/06/2021 4:07PM

Allowed year round in Idaho? New River Gorge Bridge is just on Bridge Day. ** -- Hokie360 01/06/2021 2:46PM

Yep, anytime. It's a bit disconcerting when you're driving across it -- HokieMacDaddy 01/06/2021 3:04PM

Have been across both several times...the one in Idaho is stunning (unshun) -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/06/2021 3:36PM

That's the one in Twin Falls? ** -- `lag 01/06/2021 4:01PM

Yes ** -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/07/2021 08:24AM

Just to the west are 2 golf courses at the bottom of the gorge -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/06/2021 3:38PM

Not far upstream to the east are Shoshone Falls -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/06/2021 3:39PM

And the view down the gorge from the falls viewing area -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/06/2021 3:39PM

It's a great kayak up to the falls -- Roanokie 01/06/2021 5:10PM

You can see kayakers in the first pic of the bridge ** -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/07/2021 08:13AM

Have you driven further west along the river? -- HokieMacDaddy 01/06/2021 3:58PM

No, I haven't. You can see several waterfalls from those golf courses -- statmanfromHCyrs 01/07/2021 08:18AM

Yep, downstream to Three Island Crossing -- Roanokie 01/06/2021 5:13PM

That'll help defeat the virus! ** -- vthokieq 01/06/2021 1:06PM

I'm OK putting this into the bill. -- EDGEMAN 01/06/2021 1:19PM

Exception here just justifies another exception somewhere else. -- vthokieq 01/06/2021 1:22PM

I think it would have passed as a stand alone bill -- EDGEMAN 01/06/2021 1:24PM

Then it, and all the other pet crap should have been submitted on their own -- Vienna_Hokie 01/06/2021 2:22PM
