James Baughn perished earlier this month when he fell from a bluff in Cape Gerardo County in Trail of Tears State Park. What was he doing? Doing what he loved to do, taking pictures.
James Baughn: History and bridge lover, friend to many
His obituary: James Baughn, Wednesday, December 9, 2020
I am so sad to see this. We never met personally, but exchanged e-mails often. I'll be thinking of his family and friends.
I hate to be That Guy, but it's Cape Girardeau, not Gerrado
I never knew him personally, though we occasionally exchanged info on bridges
I am deeply saddened to hear this. I never knew James personally, but only through his work on this website.
Thanks, Mike. I also plan to add a couple new categories in the Bridgehunter Awards in James' memory to be in place for the 2021 Awards. Will announce that on the 23rd. Stay tuned. :-)
I love the tribute on The Chronicles Jason. Thank you for doing that in James' memory.
Hi folks,
To honor our fallen hero and pontist, James Baughn, the Bridgehunter's Chronicles is doing a Pic of the Week series for all of this year (2021) where each bridge and the photo he took of it will be showcased once a week. The first one can be found here:

The memorial end logo will appear often in the Chronicles for the duration of this year. More later and have a nice start into 2021.
