What does an ancient bridge have to do with the document written on parchment in Philadelphia in 1879?

John, 1879? I think you need to fix that sentence.

There was substantial video and still photography at this event. I expect Google images to have these within 24 hours. My wife's camera's battery gave out as soon as I opened it up, at the event. No time to take the shuttle out, get battery, get back, shoot photos.

Dang.

“Have you ever seen a bridge pull?”

No, but I’d like too, sounds fascinating!?

I guess we'll have to wait awhile since the "pull" was today?

Here are some pics of the bridge while it was under construction.

I’ve never seen a bridge pull, but I’ve seen a horsefly.

They did it in The Swiss Family Robinson (the book, not the movie. I don't know what they did in the movie!)

There's an old covered bridge right around the corner from our house - the last covered bridge in Cobb County GA and one of only 5 or 6 left in the state. It's a one-lane on a little country road, you have to wait and blink your lights for the other guy.

It will last indefinitely, as long as the roof is sound and keeps the water off the timbers.

But never trot a high-steppin' horse through a covered bridge!

Congratulations on getting the bridge but shame, shame, shame on New Hampster for giving it up.

The Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth, Michigan had a covered bridge built and pulled
