    What you say about the anchorage is true. My grandfather worked on the NJ side. They drilled and blasted down into the palisades. I think I remember him saying about 700 feet. Also like you say the NY side is anchored into a massive monolithic pour of concrete at about 180th street in Manhattan. Being held in place only by its sheer massive weight. I was raised in that area and always liked visiting palisades interstate park and would access the park from the road going down the cliff from the top of the palisades ave hill in Englewood at the palisades interstate parkway.

      The area he was used as a Campground before construction of the bridge. When the bridge was built the Campground area was used to house the bridge workers. I think it opened up again once the bridge was built, but the water quality was very bad and no one wanted to swim in the Hudson. But the water quality is improving so maybe one day they will truck in some sand and allow folks to swim again like they did one hundred years ago.

    Hey Chris! Wonderful video!!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I spent my early childhood in Teaneck, NJ and my Dad, being in the professional theatre, always took the bridge into the city for shows, rehearsals, etc. And as a kid, I had a copy of the book THE LITTLE RED LIGHTHOUSE. I remember trying to look down and see the lighthouse whenever we'd go across the bridge. Gosh, it's so tiny, isn't it? Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia and for sharing your work and art with us. All the very best!

The drive south is n the palisades parkway, at night, as you come over the darken hillsides and are suddenly presented with the GW bridge and all of urban NYC and NJ (fort Lee,etc) lit up like the Las Vegas strip, is an awe inspiring initial view of the big Apple
