Yes, that is the bridge, the one everyone fishes from. Thunder Mountain Rd runs from just south of the airport to Warm Lake Rd, on the east side of town. Most RVs are within the weight allowed, with only the very large trailers and most Class A's excepted.

The 9000lb limit was never accurate, it was 9 tons/axle. That too has been removed, it's now open to all legal weight loads, once vehcile(heavy) at a time.
