Old Train Trestle

[logueb]

Seems like I hit bottom and no more bottles. I move out in the upsteam sand and start finding these bad boys. Fresh water mussells. You can tell how pure your stream is by these filter feeders. They can't live in polluted water.

Wanta try one.

Before I leave the trestle, I find this. Looks like a broke top to a soda bottle.

Never seen anything quite like this one. I've seen round bottles, but they had cork tops, not crown tops.

Try again on the cleaned up bottle. Jamie, I don't have a clue on this one. Maybe someone else has run into this one before.

On my way out of the swamp I go upstream and find an old bridge posts partly submerged with the pointed end sticking up. Probably washed out of an old bridge crossing. If you go up and down creeks you can find these old crossings. Most of the time the posts will be off just below the water line, but because of the drought these are exposed. At normal water level you would never see these.
