We crossed the bridge about an hour before it washed out. We drove from Castaway Rd to take pictures of the dam spillways, which were of course all open, and came back across the bridge, walked out on it and took pictures of the water rushing beneath. By the time we got to the now Eagle Convenience Store, on 229, we heard the bridge was gone. We turned around and went back and took more pictures of the river minus the bridge! We had probably been on the bridge, no more than 20 minutes before it washed out. (Not something I like to think about now) I have pictures of my dad standing on our dock which was underwater. Quite a day!
