Simstown Road Bridge
Visited this bridge on Monday 2 Feb '09. School bus crossed while I was on bridge. Very weedy on both downstream sides. Tin flap still hanging from bridge's first span with baling wire. Creek flowing too strong to get over on center gravel bar for better pictures.
On the AG&F Simstown access rd to Strawberry River there is a nice spring box on the right. Good flow, water cress growing.
Attaching a couple of current photos.
