Lick Creek Bridge
I've gone out of my way a number of times just to go over this bridge; the last time with my mother, who was terrified! I'm curious to know when it was built. It feels solid (not like a "rickety old bridge", but I looked up the rating on the state's website - I see them here too - and it's apparently one of the worst in the state.
