Over a hundred years old and it looks, sounds and feels it. Have you driven across something like this before? The boards are not even fastened down, just lain across. They are rotted and warped and they bounce and crackle.

I tried to capture the feeling hanging my camera phone out the window:

I had fun playing on this remote bridge and driving across it. Scared the **** out of my daughter in the back seat. Our lives probably really were in danger. But while I was stopped on the bridge shooting, a local came driving along in an big old '70 Ford Pickup. I scrambled to get back into the car and out of his way. As I pulled to the side he pulled up and assured me that I should take my time. He explained that he was a local and trying to "Save the Bridge". As he happened along he actually thanked me for enjoying the bridge! I set up on the bridge again after he left, then his mother came by in a Jeep 15 minute later and gave me the same pitch. This place was well off the beaten path along a single lane gravel road and I'm pretty sure that this was a local family who'd known that bridge for generations. It must have been the damnedest thing to happen along a Dale Jr Monte Carlo replica on it one day. I bet that never happened even once before in the bridge's 111 year existence.

I have more pics that I'll share later, but this one is my submission. I'm happy to have been part of one more story of the old Ausable Road Bridge and had a chance to share it here on The Monte Carlo Forum.
