New bridge that replaced 2 older bridges, as the older bridges were prone to being submerged...last night the water was up the supports just shy of the road surface...

Looking in the opposite direction now, towards the restaurant...the river bed is actually on the other side of the trees on the right hand side of the frame...

The river in the pictures above are probably within 1/8 mile of my in-laws house, across flat ground...but, just across the yard from there house is the Birch Tree Holler creek...here's father-in-law fording it in his Dodge, with water pouring over road into their yard...
