Couple neat features on this one, and VERY buried in the Chase Co. jungle

A lot of bridges don't seem to have plaques these days. Plaques make such great souvenirs that unfortunately people sometimes take them home. On the other hand, sometimes people take the plaque in order to preserve it if they see that it's being used for target practice, or getting hit by vehicles, and/or vandals.
I appreciate all the great detail pics that Nick has taken here. It is good to see some nice shots of the Outriggers and other members. I would guess that this bridge was probably built sometime around 1910, thus the Kansas default date of Circa 1910 is probably pretty close to being accurate in this case.
