It&#8217;s a 250 foot, two span bridge and according to folklore, is largely the result of a young man\u2019s love for a local girl. You can hear more about that in the podcast this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/spotifyanchor-web.app.link\/e\/GCpurAxxrCb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We did a photoblog on the bridge in the summer of 2022 and now a little more than a year later we&#8217;re<br \/>\ncatching up to find that the struggle to protect the irreplaceable culture, history, agriculture and<br \/>\nbiodiversity of the area continues.
