.......there's a second sign
a third sign
a fourth sign
a fifth sign
and there's even a sixth sign
And if you miss all these..... there's still a seventh sign accompanied by a 6 x 6 steel structure anchored in concrete.
This 123 year old covered bridge along with an 800 ft. causeway spans the St. Joseph just upriver from me. The longest covered bridge in use today in the state of Michigan, it underwent a $700,000 restoration last year. Part of the restoration included the steel structure at each end to discourage overweight and over-sized vehicles from stressing this historic landmark under their weight.
Still there are those who either still don't get it or believe these warnings are meant for someone other than themselves. As much as it pisses me off, today I had the satisfaction of seeing one of these "special people" get what they deserve. For starters, the truck alone is more than 3 tons and the travel trailer........ well the rest is self-explanatory.
Please pardon the crappy pics. Some were taken in the rain and the others through the dirty windshield of my truck. No attention was paid to the quality of the photograph. Just the subject.
