[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4104476, member: 7900"] REALLY nice day today surveying roads. First of all, the temperature only got up to about 95 here in Denison, TX, which made it much more comfortable in the van. Further, we worked one record on one road going east out of Denison that ended near an historic bridge called "Carpenter's Bluff Bridge." It was originally built as a railroad bridge to bring coal from Oklahoma to Texas. As time went on, it underwent different iterations until finally being abandoned. However, one can still walk out onto the bridge, which I did so I could take some pictures.

The best part of the bridge has a concrete base.
