      Can I vote now? Roger, that shot is stellar. Curious to know how you got your bike on what appears to be a pedestrian/bicycle only bridge.

        Wow! Great shot, Roger.
        Is that one of those take the photo quick before a cyclist/walker happens by?

            Brown County 2018.
            One of the multiple places out along Tunnelton Rd/ Ft Ritner Rd between Bedford and Medora where the road follows RR tracks then goes under and then maybe follows RR tracks on other side. And this is one where a creek also goes under.


            That is Justin Redmanson along with me there.
            He is a peculiar guy that likes to stop and park bike in peculiar places, and then goes to some effort to get a photo. Might actually stop and look around, then decide where to move bike(s) to pose a picture.

              Here's a shot looking back over the ramp. Not too difficult getting up there really.

              Kind of, yeah. Made it exciting though, lol. The strangest look I got was from the girl on the back of a sport bike coming down the ramp haha. They had the same idea, grab a pic while everyone else is distracted by fireworks.

              I have driven by this bridge during the day many times and always wanted to go acrossed it at night. There used to be lights evenly spaced along the whole bridge. Most have burned out or possibly even stolen by now though.

              I had to check the satellite image to see where the other end of the trail was. Turns out the street was dead, not a soul in sight. The trail leading up to the ramp was a quarter mile or so. As mentioned, a sport bike passed me as I climbed the ramp. Two pedestrians and maybe three cyclists. I pushed the bike acrossed the bridge, as if that made it any less awkward, not!! haha. That's pretty much the shot I wanted. I really tried to get lightning and fireworks in the background somehow but decided not to press my luck and headed towards the road.

                  If you remember Doc and Eddy's billiards, it's right in front of that building just west of Cliff's amusement park. It crosses over I-40 to Jefferson

                    This old train bridge is still in use but it no longer "lifts".

                          Great sites. Thanks,, Bob.. Can't wait to find some cool bridges on the next trip.

                          There's a really cool old railroad trestle near Cloudcroft we saw last year. It was fun to see but couldn't get the bike in a decent pic though.

                            Too much bridge, too little CBX.
