[Abercrombie]

Nice job Don. I got out on the XR650L for a couple hour ride Saturday afternoon and got a few bridge pictures but you beat me to posting them up here. You know the old saying " you snooze you lose".

I don't care if Don beat me to the punch, I'm going to share a couple bridge pictures I took on a bonus December 2nd ride.

One of the few bridges that hasn't been torn down and replaced with bridges that will handle modern farm equipment. One of my first jobs out of high school was visiting every bridge in Richland County ND and checking bridge weight limit signs and reflectors. This bridge is located just out side of Abercrombie and was a favorite of mine and a place were we expended thousands of rounds of 22 shells at floating debris in my younger days.

Here is a replacement bridge that replaced another one of my favorite bridges that was very similar to Dons photo. The bridge on this location was often flooded, had a very low weight rating, and was not conducive to modern farm equipment.

This bridge is near Fort Abercrombie located just outside the city of Abercrombie. You can see one of the recreated corner block houses and ghost fencing that shows the outside perimeter of the Fort Grounds. Before it's replacement this was also the site of a cool old steel structure one lane bridge where I wasted a lot of my youth and 22 shells shooting floating debris "Schmidt beer cans mostly".
