You have no idea how many times people's eyebrows have raised when I say I live next to the dam rd.

Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount "up to and including their life".
That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

the washout from Folsom Lake is the American River, go upstream from Rainbow bridge and you will eventually find rapids and stuff.
go down to Hazel and cross the American river, look east, and you will see the Nimbus Dam that holds back the waters known as Lake Natoma (why the dam & resulting lake have different names is beyond my scope of knowledge in this matter).
there also are at least 3 creeks that feed lake Natomas other than the American river outflow from Folsom Dam.

A.) Thanks for the explination
B.) So if we weren't geographically challenged....would the accurate and literal name of the structure be "American River Bridge"?
C.) After much consideration, I think the best method is to use what I call "The Artist formerly known as Prince" method and call it the "The structure formerly known as the Folsom Dam road".

well the fact that one of the meanings of "crossing" is the act of opposing or thwarting; frustration; contradiction. is simply too funny for words!

So between the Lake Natoma Crossing and the Folsom Lake Crossing, can we consider it "double crossing"
Sorry, I'm bored.

No.
What I really don't get--is that the site has not been updated since Feb. 2007.
Oh, yeah--they try really hard to keep the local residents "in the know" about this bridge.
Stinkin arseholes were out there this morning at 5AM beeping their stupid construction trucks again this morning.
