About Me
Email: melissabrandwelch [at] msn [dot] comI'm not an outdoor kind of girl unless I'm hunting for bridges.I am originally from Maunie Illinois and currently live in Carmi Illinois. My favorite areas are the Little Wabash river bridges and anything abandoned. Apparently I'm a Pontist !

Welcome Newcomer
Hey Adam ! Hope you enjoy your time here.
Welcome Back
Hey Dana and Kay ! It's good to see you back. You were so welcoming to me in my early days here !
Love the photos Luke !
Love the historic name
Art, Definitely!
Tony paged me. I'm on it.
Tony and Mike, you're both wrong. It's obviously a snow cone stand.
I have researched and read about so many bridge disasters I'm developing anxiety when I go across bridges.
I'm thrilled I was able to drive across this last summer. I'll miss seeing it when I'm in Evansville.
Thank you Tony ! Always taking care of my mistakes!
