Monegaw Springs Bridge
I just visited the site for the first time today. I was actually visiting Monegaw Springs to visit Youngers Lookout just west of the north end of the bridge. There is a cave there which the outlaw Younger brothers (part of the Jesse James/Younger gang) visited often, maybe even sort of a hideout.
I may have some pictures later from a film camera.
