Many Thoughts - One Bridge

Philosophical

Nov 17

Where does it go?

Standing under Hwy 23 bridge early November, the John Denver lyric floated into my mind.

"A road to nowhere and eternity" ("To the Wild Country").

This is an "I wonder" image.

I wonder why the put the bridge where they did?

Was this a natural crossing prior to any bridge?

Did this replace a wooden bridge years ago?

And then - where does the road go after it crosses the Wisconsin River?

Who would think one short bridge could create so many questions?

Just a thought, as I stood along the river.
