Poinsette Bridge

With my daughter in school and my husband at work, I decided to go on a small drive to Poinsette Bridge. The drive itself was beautiful with the sun out and the ever changing leave colors. The bridge is located on Old Highway 25 and if you are not paying attention you will drive pass the bridge. What caught my attention was the sound of Little Gap Creek that runs through the bridge.





Poinsette Bridge was built around 1820 and it was the only way one could travel from Greenville SC to Asheville NC. Looking at the bridge, I could not help but go back in time and wonder who travel across this bridge. I also wonder what the area looked like in the 1820's? Was it a wooded area or at that time were there houses in the area?





I do hope my pictures show the beauty of the bridge and the wonderful construction. For more information go to: Poinsett Bridge
