we are somewhat involved in Ash Creek. Tricky location for removal with the crane set.

I'm really not sure what is going on here. This appears to be a case of the old farmer saying "I'll take that there bridge." It has sat there for over five years now; maybe the county is trying to find it a home.

I also think Siskiyou County is still trying to find a home for the Ash Creek Bridge if there is an interested party out there. http://www.bridgehunter.com/ca/siskiyou/2C0041/

Is that considered the answer by historical parties or what is going to happen to this one. Pretty cool.
