the original town of Drawbridge was mis-named, as there used to be a turning bridge for the railroad here, rather than a drawbridge -- but now it's just a non-moving concrete structure, and too low for our boat to go under -- so this was the end of the line, boating up Coyote Creek

	foxglove says: its a sad time when a bridge becomes the end of the line instead of joining things and extending : i need todo something with my "the_bridge" thing on flog .... like close it down! Posted 36 months ago. ( permalink )
	foxglove says: oh! american small town names are fabluous! have you ever read the "Bill Bryson" books: BB is a US'er but a UK jounalist who profits from being "one of those over here" Posted 36 months ago. ( permalink )
	lawatt says: @SparkyLeigh, the railroad is still active, trains cross this bridge many times during the day, but there's no stop at Drawbridge (hasn't been one since the '50s or so), there's no longer any town (last resident left in the 1980s), and the non-movable low bridge means only kayaks or very small rowboats can get through to the other side.
