Humpback Bridge

Three miles west of Covington, VA. Built in 1835 for the old James River and Kanawha Turnpike Company. Humpback Bridge, unique in bridge designs in the United States, has its original hand-hewn timbers which are put together with hand-made locust pins. The span is 120 feet long, with abutments placed 100 feet apart, with no middle support. The center of the floor and roof is about four feet higher than at the ends, thus giving the humped appearance from whence it was named. It is the only bridge of its design in the United States.

I love that bridge Amy..Looks like an equally interesting train trussel behind I would love to post some of my pix.. I love neat train trussel bridges also. Mine aren't all together in a "bridge" file. when I bike, hike, take trips , kayak etc I take whatever is there often hundreds of photos per trip. Since I sometimes cant remember where the refrigerator is, I have a hard time remembering all of the pix in my several hundred gig.. but I will look.

I want to look up that bridge. I pass over the Kanawha river on the way to my son's.. if it is not to far I will go find it & shoot it..

I made 3 large macaroni salad for Sunday family /Sunday school picnic. i was a little nervous about it as I am pretty spastic normally & without sleep was trying hard to concentrate on not cutting off part of finger..

I made three different kinds. One traditional. One with cauliflower, lots of veggies, banana peppers & mega spice & the last with varied veggies, varied cheeses & the tiny little tomatoes and lots of Italian seasoning. If you make homemade macaroni salad it should taste different/better than deli, no?

Now making veggie soup also. Just cut up extra veggies & put in crock pot.. smells good (the garlic & onions)

Amy, have you talked with Lori?

oh, just kidding about not knowing where frig is.. one look at me will tell I have that one down pat!
