Some bridges

 I looked through my collection of blogs to see what I had photos of bridges.

In 2013 I posted





The bridge over Tomahawk Creek as it flowed into Lake T.

Happy ducks swimming in leaf-full water shadowed by the bridge.



Grateful to be moving again after an hour delay due to construction on the I-40 bridge over Douglas Lake TN, as I was driving from Knoxville to Black Mountain Dec, 2013


How the bridge over Flat Creek in Montreat looked in 2013

The Flat Creek bridge in 2014. 

Flat Creek Bridge, 2019...still holding onto those old  tree railings! Which aren't holding onto the supports too well.

Flat Creek Bridge Feb. 2022...with new railings!

August 2014 trip to Old Salem has a covered bridge entrance to the old town from the information center. Here my friend Tim and I do a selfie but August sun was gruesome!

Tim gives perspective to the size of this pedestrian bridge.

I love seeing all the structure of these bridges.

The last of a covered bridge over the Haw River, NC

And in 2018 here's a blog about several bridges including info on the covered bridge over the Haw River, near Pittsboro NC.

Some highway views around Brunswick GA

 For spending the night, (on my way home from Tampa FL) I got off the interstate (95) to see where Brunswick was...only to find mies of this flat marshland. Then there was suddenly a bridge!

 It reminded me very much of the one from St. Petersburg to Bradenton FL known as the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.  See HERE.  This one only has these cables on one set of high pillars.


There were marshes everywhere!

An interesting old Hispanic looking buiding along the highway (next to a stop light, thus I could take a photo of it!)

I didn't feel like going through the "old town" which might have been enjoyable.  I tried a well known motel chain (didn't have reservations of course) and it had no open rooms. I tried another one, and after standing in line only could get a "smoking or pets" room.  It was my last sense of energy, so I took it. I was happy to have breakfast in the lobby in the morning, and checked out for my final day traveling home from Florida.
