For the first time in a week or so, Maria was able to walk across the flooded Gulley Memorial Bridge, the flood waters have finally begun to recede.  I didn’t have my boots on so I didn’t  try it, but in a day or so we will be able to get out to our woods again, we have missed them.

I hate to say this, because I will end up having to buy Ed and Carol Gulley another dinner,but he did a great job building this simple, two-plan bridge. It has held up amazingly well, day after day of surging stream pouring over it. It didn’t move an inch.
