Thunder Bridge Kind of a Spencer landmark. It's a 'through truss bridge' built in 1905. Wonder how many times I have driven over this bridge. Lots. Remember trying to catch salamanders under it. Didn't catch anything. Also tried fishing here once but no luck. Found lots of empty beer cans. Video posted by Steve Johnston |
