The Bay Bridge

The Bay Bridge, July 4, 1936–C.H. Bennett Collection

This post does seem out of character or should be out of the territory I write about. Readers may recall about the weekly posts about the Secret Valley CCC camp earlier this year. Those post originated when I received Company Clerk C.H. Bennett’s photograph albums during his tenure there. CCC enrollees did not entirely endure all work and no play. From time to time they were transported to other destinations  for a break. The Secret Valley Camp enjoyed a trip to San Francisco for the 4th of July 1936.

Hence are these views of the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge that Bennett took on that 1936 trip. In my on going learning experience I had no idea that the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge were constructed at the same time.
