Being an Outdoorsman, I have to take a walk every day,
even if it's just to the grocery store.
Today I drove to the country, & walked across a cow pasture,
& explored under an old RR bridge.
I saw a deer quietly slip away out of sight, found a dead, (stinky) cottonmouth moccasin, someone had shot, & left in the river, got it out, (water goes into my drinking water).
I saw old timbers left from the previous bridge, still standing in
the river, bolts in the granite rock they used to construct the last
one, old boiler parts, (I guess), from an old 'steam engine.
Broken couplings, (glad I wasn't under there when it fell), &
oddly enough, where water had dripped through gravel, onto the
concrete piers, I found ( stelagtites), hanging there, the gravel was probably shipped in from MO, (cave country), limestone.
It is hard to imagine the work that went into building this bridge, there was mostly Mule, & horse power, plus manpower.
