Narrative and photographs

We continued along the old bridge over Channel #2, after finding two benchmarks at the northeastern end, and found another one at the southwestern end! This tidal disk was also in very good condition and was an easy find on the curb of the bridge. The old bridge now serves as part of the Heritage Trail and is used for recreational purposes. Vehicle traffic uses the new bridge just to the south.
