I came across this bridge while exploring the Black Forest last year. I’m still not sure about the composition.

I just had to take a bite before taking the photo😁
Third in a series. I went on a quick drive into the Wasatch Mountains following a storm. I hiked up a frigidly cold stream in my tennis shows and stood in the just-melted run off for 20 minutes to get this image. Strangely, I never felt the cold. A three image panorama.

Ingles Farm, at Ingles Ferry. Radford, Virginia.
Mary Draper Ingles (1732 – February 1815), also known in records as Mary Inglis or Mary English, was an American pioneer and early settler of western Virginia. In the summer of 1755, she and her two young sons were among several captives taken by Shawnee after the Draper's Meadow Massacre during the French and Indian War. They were taken to Lower Shawneetown at the Ohio and Scioto rivers. Ingles escaped with another woman after two and a half months and trekked 500 to 600 miles, crossing numerous rivers, creeks, and the Appalachian Mountains to return home.
Two somewhat different accounts of Mary Draper Ingles' capture and escape, one written by her son John Ingles, and the other by Letitia Preston Floyd, an acquaintance, are the two primary sources from which the story is known. (Wikipedia.)
The land that is Ingles Farm was deeded to William Ingles in 1747, the property was settled by William and his wife, Mary Draper Ingles, in the 1750’s. In addition to being a working farm, the Ingles’ built and operated a ferry and tavern to transport and shelter some of the hundreds of thousands of settlers traveling westward along the Wilderness Road across the New River.
Today the farm is still owned and operated by direct descendants of William and Mary Draper Ingles. The accurately reconstructed cabin where Mary lived and worked for the remainder of her life, original tavern, graveyard, remnants of the ferry, and authentic strains of cattle, sheep, and vegetables combine to create the backdrop for hearing her story and the story of the Wilderness Road.
While Ingles Farm is an working farm and private property, it is also an ongoing archeological and historic reconstruction site. (radfordva.gov)
