@Steven L. Taylor: It is impressive. I remember when they were building it and the day they put the keystone segment in. An amazing architectural, structural, construction achievement. I forget how close the tolerances of the bases had to be, something phenomenally close like 1/64th of an inch.
Nice one.
Did you go to the top?
@Daryl and his brother Darryl: Thanks.
@Mister Bluster: Yes, we did.
I was really impressed with the structure in person.
Several airplanes have flown through the Arch.
At least one fool parachuted (sp) off the top.
