Nice to be on the road again. First time going to Sonora and on 49. I almost didn’t make it because I wanted to stop and take photos. But I did stop here and looked up some information. Archie Stevenot Bridge Route 49 Stanislaus River Bridge Melones, California, United States 450 feet high / 137 meters high 550 foot span / 168 meter span 1976 Melones is a former settlement in Calaveras County, California, now submerged beneath a reservoir named New Melones Lake. It lay at an elevation of 955 feet. Melones was founded on the site of a ferry operated from 1848 by John W. Robinson and Stephen Mead. The town initially took its name from the ferry.Wikipedia . . . . . hwy49 #bridgefetish #Melones #ArchieStevenotBridge #route49 #roadtripusa #lovetotraveltheworld #landscapephotography #Travelholic #architecture #photooftheday #love #instagood #water #picoftheday📷 #travelphotography #bridges #clouds #naturephotography #wanderlust #actioncameraroseville #sonyphotographer #sonybealphagang #sactownphotographer #route49adventures #bridgephotography #melonesbridge #gulch #goldenchainhwy #followforfollowback https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu5yDMcnzrb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j81cmy3hnkdq
