Really great pictures!!!! I would love to see more. Do you know exactly where that bridge across the Merced was? Looks like I need to drag out my old saddle shoes.

I have another image of the original swinging bridge and I believe it was located within about 25 feet of the current bridge. I also recall the north bridge foundation laying on the riverbank when I worked in NPS campground maintenance in 1969. As romantic as the original bridge might have been, I vividly recall people rocking the bridge up and down to frighten the scaredy-cats (like me) who were on the bridge. I wish I could have seen more of the Glacier Point Hotel, but I believe it was closed when it burned in summer, '69. I also recall the square nails from the Mountain House laying on the ground for a while.

Ah. OK.
BM 4144 ... I looked earlier this year... but could not find anything. Looked quite a bit.
It's supposed to be right at the base of the nose. With the extreme popularity... it is
more than likely long gone. Couldn't even find any indication where it had been.
The one on top (BM 7042) is still present and accounted for.
