Picosa Creek Bridge
Posted June 14, 2008, by Markus Haas (markus [at] sweeet [dot] net)

From the date stickers on the back of the Road Closed sign, it appears that this bridge was closed in the early 90s. The road now ends about 50 yards shy of the bridge at the last house's driveway, but can easily be followed to the bridge. The deck is largely gone now.
