Bridge center

The bridge has held up pretty well for one that has been abandoned for so long. The center timber is in better shape than the horizontal running timber.

The Approach

It is interesting to me to look at the difference between this image and the same same ramp shot in 2011. The 2011 images show the ramp was mostly clear but it now has a thick coat of leaves and more than its share of plants growing on or around the ramp

Snake Skin

This is about twenty feet up the southern approach to the bridge. Aside from the obvious sign of wildlife it shows the leaf buildup and in this case a fairly large hole almost hidden by the leaves.
