Bear Creek Bridge
Posted June 7, 2012, by J Lance (bugo [at] hotmail [dot] com)

I really need to go back and photograph this bridge in the winter time where the trees don't block the view so much. If you go visit this bridge, be careful driving through Tryon, as it is a major speed trap. My buddy got a ticket there.
