Narrative and photographs
This was the second of two USGS marks I’d hoped to find on my way to the annual Death Hike (held this year at Ricketts Glen State Park). When I arrived and saw the style of the bridge, I had some hope, but unfortunately this bridge was replaced in 1957 and the USGS mark, set in 1942, went away with the old bridge.
I was pleased, however, to see that USGS had reset the mark (see AMD 3 RESET 1958) in 1958, in the same location.
