Is This the Chittendon Bridge?

I hated to interrupt the fun flow about the visit to Layton, but this picture is a mystery that needs to be solved.  I found this extremely faded photograph tucked into an old envelope for Craftsman Wood Service Co. in the pile of pictures I'm sorting.  Does anyone know why:  1.  I have this picture?  2.  Why it is tucked into a Craftsman envelope?  3.  Is the significance having to do with road and    in the Park?  I can't tell, but this doesn't look like a concrete bridge????  Remember Grandpa telling the story of how they poured the concrete for the Chittendon Bridge (which no longer exists).They waited until the moon was almost full, and then, mixing the concrete by hand in big wheelbarrows, mixed and poured 24 hours a day around the clock.  It must have been an exhausting endeavor.  

    P.S.  I wrote this and then thought about doing a search for the Chittendon Bridge.  Read about it in Wikipedia - it's quite a story!  Now I know more than I knew before, but I didn't see a picture???

POINTS OF INTEREST

We all remember these two points of interest when we were growing up.  First the stories of the bridge that Grandpa worked on in Yellowstone, then the narrow road of the canyon that took us up the North Fork.  We also probably remember how much Father did not like the canyon drive.

Pages from Grandpa Wasden's Yellowstone National Park Journal

I realized, as Dwight and I were talking about putting together more of our treasures, I probably had never shared with you some of the pages from Grandpa Wasden's Yellowstone N.P journal. I have transcribed the complete journal and will be sending out copies "soon". Just to make this a part of the record, I thought you might enjoy seeing his handwriting. See if it is legible when you click on the pages.

More From Grandpa Wasden's Little Brown Notebook

These are the other notes that were in Grandpa's little brown notebook. Hopefully, if you click on the image, it will enlarge enough so you can read it. Many of his notes are very smudged, especially those in the first few pages.

Grandpa Wasden's Little Brown Book

I suspect I am not the only one who can remember how Grandpa Wasden always seemed to have this little book, or one similar to it, in his pocket, along with a little piece of a pencil, so he could make notes when the occasion required it. Following are some of the items that are in this booklet.

Which child do you suppose practiced their art work on the back page?


This little booklet is very small, but it contains so many tidbits about Grandpa's life, from working at Yellowstone, to church records, to accounting of where he spent his money, and the quote from Pres. Roosevelt. Hopefully, if you click on the pages, they will enlarge so you can read them a little better. If anyone is interested in more of the pages on the concrete pour, please let me know.
