Notes missing iron support columns. Remembers when Russell Creek Bridge was the jumping off place to Burton Ridge. Commends CJE for raising littering awareness, but calls for incarceration of few littering Goobers for bad behavior

By Ed McQuaide
Guest Commentary

Good shot Ed, had you looked a little closer you would have noticed the creek has washed away and exposed the two iron support columns base for the old bridge.This is the first time in my almost 58 years I remember seeing these.

Does Mr.Watson or anyone else intrested have any vintage photos of the old bridge there on 206?

Thanks to Tommy Bailey for photo, Two Legged Tree

Valerie Loy writes:
The tree in the picture has always been one I loved.

I was raised near there and would love to have a painting done from the other direction, because you see the White Oak Church if you look though the legs of the tree from the other side.

Thank you, Tommy Bailey, for the picture. -Valerie Loy
