My favorite bridge is the 35 foot ADA -compliant (upcoming story on Americans with Disabilities Act fits this, too), pedestrian bridge my son Matthew built for his Eagle Scout project. In 1996, the flooding of Wilson River closed the access to the building site, but it was finished later. This bridge symbolizes the cooperative efforts and expertise of all who helped (Troop 685, Beaverton), the engineering expertise and other voluntary support, and cooperation from the State Forester, Randy. This was the first of what now is several bridges across Gales Creek near Gales Creek Campground.
