Great work, Art; thanks. Yeeks! I worked for many years on New Highway backing on Adventurers (110) and was all over the Ruland/Maxess/Duryea area and never realized (back then) the significance of it, LIMP-wise. But then that applies to much of western and central Nassau as well. Until Bob Miller introduced me to the LIMP history (thanks, Bob), I must have missed endless chances for documentation; rats!

Thanks Sam, but as one who tries to be transparent (most of the time), the idea of the Bridge series came from Al Velocci. And each bridge was previously documented by Howard. All I did was put them all together! And yes, if we all would have known back then many opportunities for documentation would have been available. But just as Bob was your inspiration, you were mine as I printed out many pages of your website and used that as the basis of my explorations early on. Thanks!
