The Bridges of Spartanburg County, pt. 2.
Slobot was relaxing along the Middle Tyger River.
He looked to his left and spied a stunning bridge.
Long out of use, the bridge mimics the antiquated
aqueducts of the Roman Empire. |
Today the bridge is a stranger to traffic. Nature slowly devours it.
Slobot then made his way from the Middle to the
South Tyger River. |
There he found this bridge.
Her shape is much like that of her Middle Tyger cousin.
And here, too, nature has taken its toll. A tree
even grows from the center of the span! |
Slobot loved those concrete arches, but he found
himself longing for the rustic beauty of an old iron trestle... |
like this one over Fairforest Creek near Westgate Mall...
or this little iron bridge over the North Pacolet River.
Her name is Rutledge Bridge and she is beautiful... |
but she is simply no match for Slobot's new favorite
metal trestle... |
this magnificent beast! |
Slobot was simply in awe of her proportions.
She was, indeed, a bonny bridge.
And Slobot's bonny bridge lies over the Enoree!
