Posted February 24, 2012, by David Roberts (david [at] restorationhouse [dot] com)

The Prickett Trail Bridge was sold to David and Candace Roberts. It is now reset over the same creek (Tallasseehatchee Creek), less than 1 mile from its original location. Photo was taken Dec. 25, 2010 in it's new location, in Wellington, AL.
