| 説明 | Hells Backbone Bridge sign. "Hell's Backbone Bridge. Hell's Backbone Bridge, aptly named by Henry Baker of Boulder, UT, spans this precarious backbone of rock that separates the head of Death Hollow drainage to the west and Sand Creek to the east. It was built in the 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to shorten the trip between Boulder and Escalante during the summer months. Spanning the Gap. With typical Yankee ingenuity, the CCC felled two tall, straight pines. After leveling them off topside they placed them across this backbone of rock and secured them in place. When the bulldozer and compressor were needed on the south side of the chasm, a local man, Lorrel "Sixty" McInelly, agreed to drive the bulldozer, pulling the compressor across the backbone on the two pine logs. With a safety rope tied around his mid-section, Sixty slowly inched the dozer out onto the logs and across the backbone while onlookers held their breath and silently prayed. Restoration. The original bridge was in use until the early 1960's, when its decaying timbers started to groad and squeak ominously as vehicles crossed over it. The faithful old wooden bridge was replaced by a steel and concrete-reinforced structure. That bridge was replaced in 2005 by the present bridge which is wider and stronger than the two previous bridges." |
