J.R. Manning,
I would be very curious to know what your experience was like hiking to these bridges. When I visited these bridges a couple years ago, I encountered numerous mosquito... and here in Michigan in 2015 we have a record number of mosquito, so I am imagining these bridges could have been nightmarish, unless it isn't as bad over in Wisconsin.
