Parkman Hill Summit bridge |
Description: |
At the top of Parkman Hill, in the tiny community of Parkman, this very old wood deck, 1 lane county road bridge makes an excellent photo platform to catch the action. Almost no traffic crosses it, and ample parking is available just off to the right side. Just up the road a bit, the town's only business, a bar/grill, offers a bite or libation without having to leave the area. |

East of Ranchester, CREX 1422 brings up DPU on a loaded westbounder catching the last rays of sunlight August 31st..considering the 5 or so minutes i was there and the fierce but invisible mosquito attack I endured to take this photo, it came out acceptably! |
