John Reddie Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 This bridge, although not that high, offers certain risks while crossing. Too far left or right and the car is getting wet for sure. The P12 woodie is new here (National Geographic Magazine Nov. '41) John R Quote
Normspeed Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 I'll bet that bridge looked even narrower from the drivers seat. Quote

1just4don Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 Looks a bit weak and saggy in that one spot. How would ya like to cross that with an inch of ice and snow over the top..or a foot of snow for that matter. How would you like the job of hand scooping all snow off there?? Sure didnt use a snow plow!! I remember crossing a bridge once that had quite a few planks missing,,that was hairy!! And no sides like that one. We have "TONS" of those kinds of bridges cept not that long,,just short hopper over dry creek kinds. BUT no sides,cause they interfere with hanging stuff over the sides to cross with wide stuff!! Those wooden bridges rot from the inside out too!! Thanks for the memories!!--just don-- Quote

So you'll always know your neighbor and you'll always know your pal If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal. If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal. I got a mule and her name is Sal. Well, fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. She's a good old worker and a good old pal. Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal. There's a (Chorus) Get up, there, mule, here comes a lock. We'll reach town about six o'clock. Six o'clock's just an hour away, so make your tracks while we still got day. (Chorus) Damn that mule, she shore is lazy. Bound to drive a body crazy. Looked at me the other day. Said, "I ain't a-goin' till I eat my hay!" (Chorus) Quote
builtfercomfort Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 And the 'Bridge' of the song (neither verse nor chorus): We've hauled some barges in our day Filled with lumber, coal and hay and every inch of the way we know from Albany to Buffalo Burl Ives taught me this one Quote
