On the way home from Pt. Arena, I took the Skaggs Springs Road, where you pass over this steel truss bridge built in 1920 and stopped to jump in.

  1. Some years back during an explore of Northern Cal, I happened to take the journey from Geyserville to Stewarts Point on Skaggs Springs Rd. and crossed this very bridge. I recall thinking at the time that it looked too spindly for its function, but drove across anyway. Pretty country – scary road, at least back then.
