For some reason I seem to be able to stay on line today - maybe the wind is blowing my way. Went into Rockville this a.m. and Bill ate some Fried Vegetables that must have included a spinach fritter - he is allergic to spinach and got so sick I drove back to campground. Still laid up. any way
This is the Mecca Bridge built in 1873, 150 ' long
Almost all of the bridges are painted red - This is the Zacke Cox Bridge, built 1908 just 54' long very pretty drive to it
The Bridgeton Bridge and Mill - a teenage arsonist burnt this one down in 2005 by a teenager (he was caught trying to burn another one down) it was rebuilt in 2006 - the first time we were here was just after it was destroyed
The Crooks Bridge built in 1856 132' long took photo out one of its windows
Mansfield Bridge - what we could see of it - it has a weight limit of 5 tons hummmm 5 x 2000 = 10,000. people average weight of 150 lbs 150 x 67 = 10,050 I think the bridge was over its weight limit this day.
The Marshall Bridge in the distance - built 1917 (a new one) only 56' long
another view from the campground - so peaceful here - I've seen a couple of people fishing in the lakes
country weather station
Of the bridges we could drive through 3 tons was the smallest weight limit and it did creak and groan as we went over it.
More info about the vacation so far is on my blog.
