I've never been in that part of ms. Not in the small towns anyway, driving thru Natchez in the middle of the night doesn't count. Pretty country but i like a few hills around me.

He's been there before
...Interesting trivia: Both me and Peanut were in school at Shelton State Community College, in the same year, back in the 70's.
Where exactly is that bridge in relation to highway 61 or some of the other references below? I used to live pretty near there and would drive over that river on 61 often heading down to Baton Rouge or New Orleans and occasionally on 84 or 33. Kids would go 4 wheeling along the river and I think that river is where they would go noodling. Not sure about that last part, but it was in that area.

The old school is gone. There's a home depot on that spot now. They've been at the new place since 94. We didn't know each other way back when but it was a small school. Sure we knew each other by sight. There's over 3000 students at the new school.
the university of alabama had 17k enrolled back then. They had over 40k this year. The fire fighter school is still there... several other schools of various types moved in. i don't recognize the town anymore. Especially after the 2011 tornado, it wiped away much of the old city i knew. It's all built back new. And when the fall semester starts the population grows by 75k.

Skip waiting for his carrot.
Since i mentioned it... this is the 2011 tornado path just before it hit Tuskaloosa. The buildings on the skyline to the right is the city. The nado grew, was even larger when it got there, a big ef-4. State wide 285 people died that day. Lots of bad storms, a tornado missed me by a mile or so, I could hear it. Got my cousin's house just down the road, they were in the storm shelter.

Hey 84 east from hwy 61
i Natchez. Hey 61 Take hwy 84 East
Google. Camp Ridge Point. Eddiceton Ms.
The bridge is on Burris rd
Tennessee got hammered by that same system. Not as bad as Bama did. But IIRC we lost 80 people statewide. We had a nado drop out just over a mile from the house. Every house but 4 in our little town had some damage that night. 3 separate waves of storms moved thru. First one was the worst
Thank you! I know exactly where it’s at. I always enjoyed our drives through that area, but I never knew about that particular bridge. Could have, should have, would have…

This looks to be the door on the left opening.

The bridge is actually condemned the road closed with wood baracades
But, in typical country boy fashion the road has been extended around the baracade and the bridge is used every day
The owner of camp ridge point maintains it because it his access to his camp.
3 or 4 years ago the top layer of planks were replaced. The crew tossed the creosote planks off the bridge into a pile below. Then they decided to burn the pile to be rid of it
Creosote planks burn very hot and the flames started the bottom of the bridge on fire. Lol. We stood around shaking our heads and mumbling something about a stupid female dog
Wood removed and replaced by a different crew
If you ever travel back to this area, give me a heads up,
If I were to come back it would be about November and a football game would be involved! I would certainly give you a holler. That was originally a bridge for trains, correct?
No, that bridge , is still in use by the RR. It looks the same and can be seen while you are on 84

I totally agree. I don't mean to be a snob, but that looks like a migraine to me!

Stargazy pie (Cornish: Hogen Ster-Lagatta; sometimes called starrey gazey pie, stargazey pie and other variants) is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards (sardines), along with eggs and potatoes, covered with a pastry crust. Although there are a few variations using other types of fish, the unique feature of stargazy pie is fish heads (and sometimes tails) protruding through the crust, so that they appear to be gazing to the stars.
Nope, Homie don’t play Dat!!
I know a crew of young guys who occasionally would do paint ball, capture the flag, in our woods.... A case of sodas, a couple pots of tea, several boxes of crackers and some cubed up cheese and they would devour that in a hot minute... I'd help them...
Tim I was working construction since ‘76
And you would not believe the amount of work a 12 pack of beer will get you.
I have seen a crew of carpenters complete frame a house for a case of cold beer and a smoked brisket with trimmings
Beer and bbq is $ among tradesmen
I used to bid jobs for my Mom with beer.
A six pack job was easy, a case job took about an hour anything over 2 cases was all weekend long.
She never did pay up. She said something about bringing me into this word and taking me out of it.
