Pithole Creek Bridge
Yeah, these are two bridges over the same creek that for some reason Todd and Nathan both have at the same GPS coords.
I suggest making a specific entry for the bowstring.
Pithole Creek Bridge
The first photo posted here is not at the map location associated with this bridge. The photos I took are from that location.
Also, this bridge is on private property that the owner allows people to fish the stream.

Luke, Not sure what you are referring to, on my website, these two bridges appear to have the correct coordinates. Here is the bowstring: https://historicbridges.org/bridges/browser/?bridgebrowser=p...
