History of a bridge. The original bridge was supported by a log piling filled with rocks. The next bridge, just upstream, had concrete pilings, and was a steel frame. The current crossing is a causeway with a culvert. The steel bridge (#2) was the one I crossed when I first visited this site.

Picture does not do the pile justice. They are extensive, and used by local off-roaders and dirt bikers. A toxic playground.

Watch your step! This is a hole which appears to be filled in, but you could break your leg in this one.

Slag, clinkers, and old fire bricks.

The slag heap is definitely taller that I am.
