Todd's Road Trip

Todd went to New Mexico last weekend for a Steel bridge and Concrete Canoe competition in Las Cruces. He had a blast. The drive was 14hrs long that was the only thing that he didn't like. These are some of the pictures he brought back.

This was Utah State's Concrete canoe

This was Todd's canoe (The University of Utah)

They had to race in a pond and then they filled up each canoe with water to see how long it would float. They took last place unfortunately :(

This was the Steel Bridge that won the competition (University of Wyoming)

This is a picture of Todd assembling his steel bridge. The rules were very strict. They were timed and they were not allowed to cross the black lines on the asphalt while assembling the bridge. Then, they put 3500lbs on the bridge to see how much it would deflect.

This is Todd assembling it while being timed

This is all of his teammates on the brige competition

this is his bridge with 3500lbs on it. They did a great job but didn't win this year.

This was very exciting for Todd they stopped at this place on the way back.

There were tons and tons of massive satelites.

You can see here how big they were. Look at the semi in comparison.

What a hunk !;)
