Bear Creek Bridge
Posted March 26, 2011, by Chris Litherland (photolitherland [at] gmail [dot] com)

Ive always noticed this bridge while driving up to Marshal from Atkins and always thought it be much older than 1970. It looks so sketchy to cross over and Ive never done it, its a pretty cool looking bridge though.
