Documenting our Landscape

The bridge in this image is eroding at the edges. Pieces of concrete falling from the bridge are in evidence on the valley floor. Built in the 10930’s as a WPA project, the bridge has served well for 7 decades. Allowing one portage over the river below, the bridge separates one from the land below, allowing rapid transit over a naturally flowing stream of water. This function serves well during flood season as snowmelt fills the banks to overflowing.
