Osage Fork MO 5 Bridge
Video
Osage Fork MO 5 Bridge Here's my video of me driving both the Osage Fork MO 5 Bridge and the bridge next to it. We'll start with the bridge next door, then on to the main attraction, The Osage Fork Bridge! Both are long gone now being replaced by some ugly mail order bridges. Lucky to get theses on DVD. Enjoy!
