Much of my early years were spent on and around farms -- perhaps that is why I like to blog about it -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-52667482866721030892012-02-23T09:53:59.738-08:002012-02-23T09:53:59.738-08:00Barbara,

I have to admit this -- but there was a sign quite a ways from the bridge that said bridge out. I didn't spot it until I was on my way back out to the main road. I think I was distracted by the neat farm across the road from the sign. But there was no chance I would have gone onto the bridge beams as there was a stretch of orange cones and another metal long stand behind the cones just before the bridge. As far as turning around on narrow roads -- I always park where I know I can turn around and then walk to the area I am interested in. In this case there was a tractor pull-out near by.

Looks like, even on a one lane, little used road that could be quite a surprise -- oh-oh! And where to turn around? There doesn't seem to be much room? You prove again and again that driving back roads with a sense of curiosity also involves a sense of adventure.June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-57515427641274884272012-02-21T18:04:38.441-08:002012-02-21T18:04:38.441-08:00John -- Thanks for stopping by both of my blogs.

I will remember the word and attempt to use it.

I asked the county man what they were going to do with all of the bridge materials and he said probably landfill them -- I certainly hope he was wrong.
