As a follow-up to last week’s picture of the NCR trail, I went out this weekend and took a picture of my favorite part of my favorite trail. This is the bridge that crosses Rock Creek on the Georgetown Branch Trail, which, like the NCR trail, is a former rail way passage. The bridge was restored/renovated a few years ago to keep the trail in tact and to prevent riders/ hikers from having to leave the trail and travel by road. You can see the wooden supports on the right have been re-enforced with new lumber and a new metal support was placed on the left side of the picture. The view from the bridge is quite nice as well, especially now when there are no leaves to obstruct the scenery.
