Old bridge to nowhere.

The road no longer exists.

This one is in Northern Ill. I hunted around it and didn't find anything good ,just scrap.

We used to have a lot of old iron bridges here in Mo., but the state has replaced them with concrete bridges. I guess with a lot more traffic now, they had to, but I wish they had left the old ones instead of tearing them down.
Those were great pics.

Now I found your post and picture very interesting and here's my view. Old bridges (or any bridge) are a great possibility. I can easily picture folks; Fishing (old lures, dropping bottles on a hot summer day tossing pennies and small coins etc into the water or at the waters edge).
I also would follow the pathway to where ever it may have gone, it wasn't built for nothing, there was a lot of money invested into it for some cause.
Don't write it off, there may be a hidden treasure just waiting for you yet! Nice photos, if I were close enough I'd definately pair up with you to realy case that area well. Good Luck!

Nice bridge.. There are a few around here but all on the roads less traveled.

I had a place like that to hunt. Would be pretty much all by myself at the woods and having a great time. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU COULD FIND SOME INTERESTING STUFF THERE. do not write it off and if nothing it's a nice cozy and lonely place to hang out at. Here where I live at the city in Florida there's no mountains, forrests or anything like that. If I do want to go somewhere like that I probably need to drive around for a long time to get to the woods. ON THE OTHER HAND I DO HAVE A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND BEACHES HERE WITH PRETTY LADIES BIKINIS AND TONGAS

I Do Have 2 Or 3 Mountains In Florida The City Dumps. That's The Only Mountains We Have Here.

I live in a small town named Bridgeport. How it got it's name is another story. But, over the last few years the city has purchased two of these old iron bridges that used to span two of the creeks in our county and placed them across a small creek that runs thru the city park. They're part of a walking trail. They use the bridges as sort of a town logo, with kind of a catchie phrase "A bridge to the future". What's interesting to me is, I know these bridges well. One in particular, as kids we walked across them, climbed on them, swung by a rope into the creek under them. I also remember when my swimmin' hole buddy's uncle was trying out his new deer rifle and shot a hole thru one of the heavy steel beams. The hole can still be found after 50 years.

Thanks for the interesting replies. I will get back there to hunt one of these days.
