I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth... [explored]

- Steve Mcqueen

 

This stone arch bridge at Hillsborough was my second stop, its called the Beard's Brook Bridge and its truly in the middle of nowhere. You have to take a bone jarring gravel road to get here and I still haven't found any directions for this place online. I guessed the locations of the bridge by charting out the locations where the roads cross the stream on Google maps and then trying my luck. The Bridge actually has a larger span to the right but the stream there doesn't have many rocks and didn't had an interesting enough scenery.

 

This span was a different story, It had all my favorite things, cascading water , unspoiled nature, a bridge and interesting architecture. I snapped couple of more shots but this is the one I liked the most so far. I love these mortar-less stone bridges, unlike many modern structures they don't seem to stick out in nature and roughly 200 years after they were built they still manage to do the job. I would love to return here in the fall if I am still here.
