Mr. Holthus:

Thank you for this information. I have not been able to find this bridge in the KSHS database, and the NBI has not inventoried it for several years, so it is good to hear that the bridge is still standing.

1.This bridge is now owned by the Ellen Rust Living Trust.

2. It is at the south end of the property adjacent to the Higley/Home on the Range Cabin and a part of a proposed nature walk.

3. It has been repaired and suitable for walking or ATV traffic, no OTR vehicles.
