The Earlston was it, reminds me of an old famous bridge in Minnesota (Stillwater area) that sits on private property now, but it has some famous paintings of our Union Soldiers walking across it during the Civil War times. Your parents look wonderful, and what a bit of a walk across rocks to get to that spot! Very fun post, thanks!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-85563388159071484532012-12-01T15:24:51.031+00:002012-12-01T15:24:51.031+00:00Wow -- that viaduct is impressive!Wow -- that viaduct is impressive!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658880722411505714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-29882244554223515852012-12-01T15:14:56.496+00:002012-12-01T15:14:56.496+00:00What an interesting collection of bridges -- such ...What an interesting collection of bridges -- such variety!
