    It was now time to continue our trip to the remains of the radar station. We had a choice of parking our vehicle, crossing the bridge on foot, and walking a distance of approximately a mile and a half to the remains to see exactly what was left of this facility. We elected to drive across the Pagwa River bridge. My wife has a fear of falling between the bridge timbers if she walked across the bridge, even though the space is only six inches. She closed her eyes while I drove. It was a slow crossing because of the bumpiness but on a quiet summer day it is relatively safe and easy, as long you do not get distracted. The crossing took about five minutes.
