Bob's is very similar in shape! I just looked up on wiki [link] and I'm not sure if we might have actually seen Bob's bridge...as we were kind of on our way to Asheboro...we were south/west of Raleigh - it was in a private park with a pond and other historical buildings across the road from the bridge that was "closed" so didn't spend much time there. I got a couple shots of it but there are now gates and stairs and dirt berms so it felt too "restored" for our tastes :laughing: Did we walk the same grounds? LOL Nope - just read further down into the comments on Bob's - 3/4 mile walk..."our's" was right on the road...

This one is west toward Asheville... [link] - we noticed the graffiti too which is why I chose this shot to post :giggle: It also had a little bit of a walk back to it and closed at dusk - we weren't sure "when" that was plus the mosquitoes were fierce so we didn't hang around long...again not a patient photographer especially with the treat of being locked in AND eaten alive :rofl:

:nod: very interesting! :D
Yes, the mosquito is the unofficial state bird of many Southern states! :rofl: :lmao: If you think they're big in North Carolina... you ain't seen nuttin' yet... until you see them in Louisiana! :no: They should have call signs and ask for clearances from the tower! :D Fortunately, the mosquito hawks are just as big, and take their job quite seriously :XD:

In the terms of distance it isn't all that far away :D (I was actually born in CT - we lived in Branford but I was born in New Haven as things were much more rural a half century ago :laughing:

Oh cool.. I'm 13 miles from New Haven.. and it was.. and the amusement parks were still here then too. Savin Rock up there and Pleasure Beach here in Bridgeport.. I loved both..

it was fun following signs! NC is much better at pointing things out to the tourists than CA :laughing:
