Dr. Robert C. Lentzner created this 22 by 25-inch oil painting of a bridge over the American River gorge in 1983. Just before this issue went to press, he and his wife, Loretta, set off to find it again. They were directed to the Foresthill exit off of Highway 80. A ranger in the town of Foresthill sent them back to the Cool exit. After a number of twists, turns and stops, they spotted the bridge - which looks very much like it did a quarter century ago.
Its name is the "No Hands Bridge," according to several different groups of local residents parked by the river. But nobody could explain the name's origin.
Dr. Lentzner can be contacted at P.O. Box 2543, Carmichael, CA 95609-2543.
