Lick Log Creek Bridge
Posted May 23, 2010, by Anita Lichtenegger (als2tax [at] yahoo [dot] com)

As I was helping one of my enumerators find a place for the U.S. Census, we drove up Bollinger County road 736 from Route E. I saw the bridge, after we located the address, I left her to go back to Wappapello where I live and took some pictures of this bridge. It is in worse condition now, what with the floods last spring, the driftwood that has collected on the bridge will probably bring it down when the next major flood brings more driftwood. If I can figure out how to get the pictures out of my cell phone and into my computer, I'll send them along to you. For some reason my computer is not recognizing my memory card from the cell phone. The wonders of technology!
