On my way back to Lafayette following break, I passed over the Hudson River on the George Washington Bridge. The Hudson is truly an incredible river, and it was interesting to notice the visible impact it has on its surrounding area. Many of the roads, parks, and companies surrounding the river include either the word “River” or the word “Hudson” in their names. I’ve crossed over this bridge many times, but I’ve never recognized the Hudson River’s influence.
This is a camelback bridge along the canal in Upper Black Eddy, PA. On Saturday, 9/7, the tour guide for the river trip mentioned that there are 6 of these bridges along the canal. The other 5 have been repaired, but this one has yet to be started. It can be walked across, but a vehicle would probably fall through. The bridge was originally built so that the farmer who owned the land on both sides could still access his land when the canal was built. These bridges are a historical landmark and beautiful feature of our area.
