Calling 'The General Lee'

While on a photo safari the other day, we saw this building on a hilltop. It looked interesting, so we went looking for a road to it.

We found the road — and a "bridge out" sign. We couldn't resist seeing what this "bridge out" looked like, so we drove around the barricade. When we saw orange flags in front of a dip in the road, we got out and walked to the bottom.

The road stopped. It was gone.



We gingerly approached the gap, being careful to stay clear of the crumbling edges. The only evidence left of the departed bridge was an exposed culvert. The area had received some heavy rains which apparently overwhelmed the culvert and took out the dirt encasing it.



Parts of the culvert had been unearthed and pushed downstream.



Where was The General Lee, The Dukes of Hazzard’s Dodge Charger, when we needed it? We could have soared right over that obstacle if we’d had that famous TV car on call. And if it came with Bo and Luke Duke, so much the better! Hubby would probably insist on Daisy Duke, though, and her presence just would not do. Guess I’ll have to pass on the Brothers Duke, but flying over the obstacle in that car would have been great.

A girl can dream, can’t she?
