Cromer's Mill Covered Bridge on a Great Day

Cromer's Mill Covered Bridge. Long retired from service.

One crisp, clear day in October, 2006 -- the kind of day that seems to come in October more than any other month -- I picked up my son Rob and we headed out for a day of exploring northeast Georgia. I was taking days as often as possible to explore and photograph the state in hope that I would eventually have enough material for a book.

We ate a late (and large) breakfast at a Huddle House and spent the day laughing and joking. I didn't see many pictures, but we were having so much fun it didn't matter.

Late in the day we came to Cromer's Mill Covered Bridge. Just off Georgia 106 about eight miles south of Carnesville, it was built across Nails Creek in 1907 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. The 110-foot-long bridge was built in the Town Lattice Truss design by James M. Hunt. Restored in the 1990s, it continues to be well maintained. As you can see from the photograph, the road it carried across the creek is long gone. 

At the other end of the bridge we came across this interesting structure.

A shed at the other end of the bridge.

 So we got back in the car and left before anyone showed up with a shotgun. Perhaps the property owner was fed up with curious tourists.

(The photo of the bridge was made with a Canon EOS 5D Classic, the shed with a Canon EOS 20D.)

Louise continues to do well. The next step is to have her bite readjusted by a dental specialist.
