My Work Day

Yesterday at work I had the pleasure or discomfort to head up to one of our new radio sites called Spring Hill. Spring Hill is on the border of Riverside and Imperial counties. It's also in a really remote area with 20+ miles of dirt roads to drive on to get there and those dirt roads were far from smooth. When we left there we then spent another rough and bumpy 30+ miles of dirt road driving, heading home a different way. The Bradshaw Trail travels east - west from along the two county lines. To the south and adjacent to the Bradshaw Trail is the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range. This is a live aerial bombing range for the Navy and Marines. As we travelled the trail we drove under the railway trestle bridge photographed above. The line that traverses this bridge was used to transfer ore from the Eagle Mountain Mine to the Fontana Steel Works.
