Bridges of Parke County

Here are a few pics of the bridges we found today, we found about 20 more today. We missed only 4. We may go find them tomorrow if it doesn't rain. It was a beautiful day temp in the 70's. We learned that the Bridgeton bridge was burned down 2002, and through the help of donations it was rebuilt in two years. It took 300 popular trees to rebuild half donated from the local farmers. The arsonist was caught and he gets out of prison this year for good behavior. The State Sanatorium bridge is being moved to private land and the Catlin bridge was moved to a golf course. Three bridges were moved to Billie Creek Village and they charge an admission. The Amish have a big community in the area and we saw a farmer harvesting his corn with his 6 big horses. We had a big day driving 120 miles through the country side and through tiny villages, but it was a fun day it reminded us of a scavenger hunt.
