2 Lane covered bridge Brown County, Indiana The Ramp Creek Covered Bridge crosses Salt Creek at the north entrance of Brown County State Park where it is subject to heavy traffic even though it is the oldest covered bridge still standing in Indiana as well as the only 2-lane covered bridge. This single span Burr Arch Truss structure has a length of 96 feet, or 110 feet including the 7-foot overhang at each end; both lanes are 11 feet wide and 12 feet high. Built in 1838 by Henry Wolf with Chillion Johnson as foreman, it originally spanned Ramp Creek in Putnam County, just south of Fincastle on what was known as the New Albany-Lafayette or Jeffersonville-Crawfordsville Turnpike, which later became State Road 43 and later still became US 231. The original financing for this structure originated with a State Legislative Act in 1836 that specified internal improvement, specifically, building of bridges, roads and canals throughout Indiana. In 1932 internal improvements once again began to have an effect on the old bridge as road construction would have had the structure dismantled; however Richard Lieber apparently spearheaded the movement to transport the bridge 130 plus miles to the new State Park in Brown County. The Ramp Creek Covered Bridge was listed as #14-07-02 in the 1989 World Guide ... in the February 1941 "Indiana History Bulletin" Robert B. Yule and Richard C. Smith assigned the designation "ed" to this Covered Timber Bridge located in Section 20, Township 9 North, Range 3 East, at the north entrance of the State Park and southeast of Nashville.

A view of Bollinger Mill and Burfordville Covered Bridge, taken last summer when it was warm and sunny! Major George Frederick Bollinger built the first mill here in 1800. The mill was built on a 640 acre grant from Louis Lorimier, Spanish Commandant of Cape Girardeau District of Upper Louisiana. A German Swiss from North Carolina, Bollinger visited the area in 1796 and returned with 20 families. His mill became the largest and best in the district. The mill, damaged in the Civil War and later rebuilt, operated until 1950 and is now owned by the Cape Girardeau County Historical Society. Bollinger Mill was given for public enjoyment by Julia Sanford Vandivort, a direct descendant of Major George Frederick Bollinger and by Clyde A. Vandivort, her husband. Burfordville Covered Bridge is the oldest covered bridge in Missouri, and of which there are only 4 remaining. The bridge was built around 1858, and was once part of a privately owned toll road system until local farmers staged an uprising and broke down the gates. The bridge spans the Whitewater river and is 140 feet long, 14 feet high and 12 feet wide. The bridge was created using a system called Howe-truss, which used vertical iron rods to pull the diagonal frame pieces together. A flood in 1986 moved the bridge slightly from it's foundation and caused the bridge to be permanently closed to vehicles, although it is still open to pedestrians. Burfordville Covered Bridge is part of the 43-acre Bollinger Mill State Historic site.
This is the Roosevelt Bridge on SR 188 at the end of SR88 (the Apache Trail) on Roosevelt Lake just east of Roosevelt Dam. Gila County Arizona between Globe and Payson. It was a hazy day and the wind was blowing - tough conditions. But the haze actually softened the light, shadows and background making this a decent shot. This is where the Upper Salt River flows in and the Salt River flows out towards Phoenix. Here's a similar view from higher on the mountain: www.flickr.com/photos/7202153@N03/465712822 www.usbr.gov/lc/phoenix/projects/rooseveltdam/rdhistory.html "Prior to completion of the bridge in October 1990, traffic drove over the top of the dam. The bridge itself earned rare distinction when the bridge was named one of the top 12 bridges in the nation in November 1995. The American Consulting Engineers Council cited the bridge for overall design, size, eye-appeal and design challenge. Other bridges cited were the Golden Gate Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge. The $21.3 million bridge was built to take traffic off the top of Roosevelt Dam. Roosevelt Lake Bridge is the longest two-lane, single-span, steel-arch bridge in North America. The bridge, spans 1,080 feet across Roosevelt Lake providing two-way traffic. The original dam-top roadway was designed to allow two Model-T Fords to pass abreast, but today's recreational vehicles and full-size automobiles are too wide to permit two-way traffic." Arizona Passages I remember an old photograph my Uncle's parents had on the wall of their house on Euclid Street in Globe. It was them with some young Italian pilots by a seaplane on Lake Roosevelt. Here is the story from The Apache Trail Circle Route by Tom Kollenborn "On April 8, 1927, one month before Charles Lindbergh flew the Atlantic Ocean, an Italian pilot and his crew landed on Roosevelt Lake in a seaplane named the Santa Maria. They had flown all the way from Italy across the Atlantic Ocean. Commander Francesco de Pinedo had planned to circumnavigate the globe in 1927, but tragedy struck at Roosevelt Lake. A carelessly tossed cigarette ignited gasoline which destroyed De Pinedo's aircraft at Hotel Point on Roosevelt Lake."
