Many Thoughts from One Bridge

August 06, 20241 min read

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").

I wonder

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?

Just a thought

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

Just a thought, as I stood along the river.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"If you do what you can do,

and I do what I can do,

together, we can make a difference.”
